Living in Barcelona

Barcelona is a cosmopolitan and avant-garde city whose high commercial, cultural, financial and tourist activity positions it as one of the preferred destinations in the world. 

Its privileged location on the shores of the Mediterranean not only defines its climate, marked by warm temperatures in summer and mild in winter, but also its gastronomy, which is very varied and complete. The Catalan capital is full of all kinds of venues, from traditional restaurants and tapas bars to international food establishments (Asian, Mexican, Indian, etc.) and fusion cuisine.

Barcelona has established itself in recent years as a benchmark city in the field of avant-garde, trends, design and image thanks to an extensive offer of leisure and culture that includes numerous museums (MNAC, MACBA, CCCB, Museu del Disseny, Joan Miró Foundation, Picasso Museum, etc.), festivals (Primavera Sound, Blanc, Sónar, D'A Film Festival, Grec, Cruïlla, etc.) and other notable events such as La Mercè, the Diada de Sant Jordi, the Barcelona Design Week or the 080 Barcelona Fashion.
