Ah Barcelona

Fun Facts

Barcelona and Spanish drivers in general are one of the worst, according to recent statistics an accident occurs on average every nineteen seconds weekdays Monday to Thursday but this rises to one every sixteen on Fridays.

FC Barcelona is the biggest privately owned stadium in the world (seating 100,000 people) and is also one of Barcelona's most visited tourist attractions.

Barcelona Wax Museum, officially known as Museu de Cera, is the Spain's answer to the Madame Tussaud's in London.

Web Bites

Today it's a year-round destination, although the most pleasant weather is in May [cb says Yeah Baby] and June, when outdoor festivals herald the arrival of summer.

Barcelona is a perfect walking city...
