Spain is often portrayed as the world’s Number One lifestyle destination and a great place to live; it is not difficult to understand why. There are few countries that can offer such a diverse landscape, exciting architecture and a deep-rooted historical heritage not to mention its fantastic climate and beautiful beaches.

If you’re looking for the best place to live, Spain has countryside, islands and coasts that deliver the perfect setting for your version of your best life. It has vibrant cosmopolitan cities, sleepy fishing villages, bustling market towns and countryside idylls that provide peace and tranquillity miles from anywhere.

Barcelona is the second-largest city in Spain and the capital of the Catalonia region. Since the success of the Olympic Games in 1992 it has consistently held its position as Europe’s number one spot to live and work.

Barcelona has it all, from one of the greatest concentrations of Gothic architecture in Europe combined with contemporary art and design, to food markets, rich gastronomy and a vibrant nightlife.

The city is divided into a number of different neighbourhoods or barrios, each of which offers its particular history and ambience.
