Footprint Barcelona

Spanning both the coastal and inland areas of Spain's Catalunya region, this guidebook profiles one of Europe's finest cities. With authoritative and original suggestions on what to see, where to sleep, and where to eat, the guide provides comprehensive coverage of Barcelona, from the Barri Gotic to the Zona Alta and outlying districts. This stylish pocket-sized guide is packed with in-depth information about the city's cultural highlights, including Gaudí's architectural fantasies and the kitschy Font Mágica, and offers recommendations on hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Veteran travel writer Mary Ann Gallagher gives the lowdown on Barcelona's clubs, cafés, bars, and beaches, as well as the city's Carnaval celebrations. Fully revised and redesigned, the second edition also includes a chapter on gay and lesbian Barcelona.
