Fodor's Barcelona shows you hundreds of hotel and restaurant choices in all price ranges, from budget-friendly B&Bs to luxury hotels, from casual eateries to the hottest new restaurants, complete with thorough reviews showing what makes each place special. One of the top Fodor's destinations, Barcelona has long been dubbed 'La Gran Encisera' - the Great Enchantress. Little wonder: capital of Catalonia, with the bustle of the world's busiest seaport, the medieval romance of its Gothic Quarter, and a feast of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings - including the great creations of Antonio Gaudi - Barcelona remains one of the most visually stunning cities in Europe.
