About the city

Barcelona is a Mediterranean city that decided to also be a design city. Voyazen plans the order; the food handles the rest.

Barcelona stacks the Gothic Quarter's medieval lanes against Gaudí's Eixample blocks against a 4km city beach. The Metro is dense and easy; the Gòtic, Born, and Raval are made for slow walking. Dinner starts at 21:00 here, so day plans benefit from a long siesta and a late finish.
