Barcelona: the multicultural city
Barcelona is a multicultural city open to everyone; and that's why it's the perfect city to come from Erasmus. Not only will you find a slice of all the parts of Spain, but also from all parts of the world.
In this article I tell you some secrets to find your place.
A place for everyone: Pueblo Español
Built for the International Exhibition of 1929, the Spanish Village (Poble Espanyol) is an attractive space in which are represented the most beautiful corners of some towns of the Spanish geography. In total, 49, 000 square meters where they reproduce 117 buildings, streets and squares of all Spain.
There are representative buildings of fifteen of the Spanish autonomous communities - Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla La Mancha, Castile and Leon, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Extremadura, Galicia, Balearic Islands, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre and Basque Country. The function of outdoor architectural museum as well as sample of folk crafts.
A little of the magic and the art of the south
One of the communities with greater representation in Barcelona is the Andalusian. So, if you want to live the charm of the south you can not leave the city without going to a restaurant with flamenco show in barcelona. Without a doubt, flamenco is one of the most representative symbols of Spain and it is a must for all Erasmus, so prepare your heels, your palms and call your friends.
The charm of the north
Northern Spain is known for its green valleys and good gastronomy. And although we can not bring your prairies to Barcelona, at leats we can enjoy its cuisine. Galician octopus dishes or Basque cod are especially recommended. You will also find different cultural and gastronomic associations of this group throughout the city.
The best restaurants of international cuisine
And if you still culture Spanish, Catalan, Andalusian and northern culture do not seem enough, in Barcelona you can also enjoy the culture and gastronomy of any country in the world.
For example, on Verdi Street, in the neighborhood of Gracia (one of the most popular neighborhoods) you can find Italian, Lebanese, American and Japanese restaurants.
Barcelona is a city that welcomes everyone with open arms. If this is your Erasmus destination, you will not regret it. You will be able to know all Spain and the whole world without leaving the city. But, if you want to visit the city in a weekend, I recommend you read this post.
