Barcelona Paintings And Additional Sightseeing Information

By Jayne Rutledge


Barcelona is one of the most fabulous Spanish cities that you can visit. Whether you have have weeks of vacation available, or only a few days to spare, you will surely find plenty of spectacular attractions to keep you busy. If you are particularly interested in art, there is an abundance of Barcelona paintings to be enjoyed. The several popular art galleries in the city include the Galeria D'Art Manuel Barbie, Galeria Brok and the Francisco Godia Foundation.

All of the Spanish art galleries just mentioned are filled with interesting works of art, sculptures and pottery. Antique furniture can even be bought at the Galeria Brok, located at Pau Claris 167. Most of the art galleries are open to the public from about nine in the morning to eight in the evening during the week and on Saturdays, but their times do vary and therefore it may be best to get a guidebook with the details.

The city is quite easy to get around, as public transport is provided. For tourists, there are special buses, or visitors can decide to take one of the walking tours. They are guided by an expert on the historical attractions who will talk in English. These tours must be booked in advance from one of the tourist centers, such as the main one in the Placa Catalunya. The walks generally begin at 10:00.

Walking may not be possible or enjoyed by some, and therefore there are tourist buses that go past the best places in the city. Your time is, however, not restricted at any of the attractions, as you simply get onto the next bus that comes past when you are ready to continue. By bus is one of the best ways to see what the city has to offer. Find out the bus times at the tourist offices.

Parc Guell is considered as one of the main attractions, and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Here the Hundred Columns Room is often visited, where the works of Gaudi are truly fascinating. The La Sagrada Familia and the Casa Vincens are other structures related to Gaudi.

The whole family will enjoy a day at the L'Aquarium or the zoo of the city. The aquarium is a particularly interesting place with its transparent building. Marine life of all varieties live here, including sharks, and the sea life center has a play area for children. The zoo has more than seven thousand animals, but often the favorite is Snowflake, an albino gorilla.

Further attractions include the beaches along the shore and the Olympic Port. The beach area runs for almost two miles in length, and there are amenities for swimmers nearby. At the Olympic Port, tourists can relax at restaurants, nightclubs and bars, or enjoy one of the many other forms of entertainment available at this location.

Interesting as well is the Ramblas de Canaletes, a walkway in Les Rambles. From kiosks along the walkway you can buy newspapers from around the world. The Museo Picasso is also hugely popular, filled with the most wonderful Barcelona paintings and ceramics done by Picasso.
