Barcelona
Fanciful architecture and hip restaurants have come together with the sunny southern Spanish climate and beaches to transform Barcelona in just a few decades from rough port city to one of Europe’s—if not the world’s—premier destinations. It is simply the city offering almost everything to almost everyone. But, Barcelona is also the city offering that over-the-top thing to the really craving ones! Stroll along La Rambla, admire the Casa Calvet’s façade or the Casa Mila designed by Gaudi, visit the Market of la Boqueria or shop at El Corte Inglés. Or, why not sample some of the many bars, cafés and late night haunts? Barcelona has it all.

Today, these cities – now excavated – bear witness to the splendours of the Roman Empire. Vesuvio’s last eruption was in 1944.
