The airport, El Prat, is something of a transport hub handling some 50 million passengers a year including private chartered flights. It’s located 12km from the heart of the city and easily accessible by public transport or private hire cars and taxis.

Established as a Roman city in the Middle Ages, modern Barcelona is home to two major universities and is a global economic and cultural hub. It’s also a great place for a city break.
Accommodation options are plentiful. From the luxurious Hotel Casa Fuster, complete with high-end dining and must-visit jazz club to the usual array of spacious villas, castles and homes to rent with pools, tennis courts and sometimes staff if required.

Once you’ve settled into your base, it’s time to head into the city. If you’ve visited before, you’ll know the place to see and be seen is along La Rambla. This one-mile pedestrianised route offers old-fashioned flower and ice-cream sellers plying their wares alongside the more modern selfie-stick hawkers. Take a stroll before heading to the impressive Picasso Museum. While some of the more widely known pieces reside in other art galleries around the world, the Barcelona museum documents his journey from classicist to cubist.

Park Guëll never fails to impress. This bizarre landscape is the work of Barcelona’s favourite son Antoni Gaudi and businessman Eusebi Guëll. Book well in advance and note, while the free ticket gets you entry to the park, the paid option gives you access to the best parts.

And then there are the beaches. Barceloneta is the place to be for bustle and life while Llevant, further up the coast, offers a more laid-back feel.

After a hard day sightseeing or soaking up the sun, refreshments are in order. While the legendary El Bulli restaurant may have closed, the legacy lives on through its former chefs, who own Disfrutar. This two-Michelin star restaurant is a sensory experience and one you’re unlikely to forget. Book your table in advance.
