BARCELONA'S EASYGOING SPLENDOR. Kissed by
Mediterranean breezes, Spain's Catalonian capital
is a feast for the senses. Wide boulevards lined with
stunning and whimsical architecture set the tone for
a city that moves to its own tempo. Our overnight
stay here gives you time to linger over small-plate
tapas, a glass of bubbly cava and the magical
buildings and parks of architect and favourite son
Antoni Gaudí. Life slows down to a siesta pace
along Las Ramblas boulevard, the famed pedestrian-
only thoroughfare lined with cafés and shops. Step
into a tapas bar to partake in a long-cherished
Spanish tradition, sampling small plates such as
calamares and croquetas. You will quickly embrace
this convivial style of dining, bursting with fl avor and
overfl owing with the warm friendliness for which
Spaniards are known.
