The Time Out Barcelona City Guide unveils the best kept secrets of the Med's most engaging destination. Unparalleled in its enthusiasm for a good time, Barcelona barely has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals. When there isn't an all-night fiesta on the street, there's more than likely a party on the beach and never any shortage of action in its clubs and bars. All of this takes place in a perfect climate and against a backdrop of mind-blowing modernista architecture and a cityscape as varied as any. Gentler pursuits are also myriad; Barcelona's museums have got it all covered from Picasso to perfume, it's galleries are among the most avant-garde in Europe and its history writ large in the churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri Gotic.
