| Highlights: In Barcelona, history and traditions go hand in hand with emerging fashion and new trends in cuisine, culture and art. To experience all the nuances and imbibe both faces of Barcelona, Julià Travel proposes an itinerary that begins in the historic centre, visiting places such as Via Laietana, the cathedral and its cloister, the Gothic Quarter and Plaça Sant Jaume. Following this immersion in the Barcelona of traditions, we approach the key to the change of the city. With the hosting of the Olympic Games, Barcelona opened itself up to the sea and became economically and socially invigorated. What better way to immerse ourselves in the era of change than to visit the Olympic Village and the Olympic Port and then climb Montjuïc to visit the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Calatrava Tower. Finally, we will visit El Poble Espanyol (the Spanish Village), a selection of typical buildings from all over Spain, showing a selection of the handcrafts of our country and providing the opportunity to taste the famous Catalan cava. And what better way to end the visit than with an aerial view of Barcelona from the cable car, which brings us from the mountain to the sea shore in 5 minutes.
