a fascinating city, located in the north-east of the Iberian mainland and
extending over a surface area of 100 square kilometres between the
Mediterranean and Tibidabo mountain; with its mild, comfortable climate all
year round; with the hospitality of its almost two million strong population;
with its history dating back over two thousand years and the city looking to
the future with energy and enthusiasm; with beautiful, modernist buildings,
with the latest trends in design that are also visible on the streets, squares
and alleyways; with urban areas full of people and life.
