Ever since the Olympic Games were held in Barcelona in 1992, it has enjoyed a new lease of life. Since those games people have really begun to notice the Catalonian capital. The mind-boggling thing is how it wasn't so popular beforehand? Thanks to one Antoni Gaudi, it is where you will find some of the world's most fascinating architecture. It is also where you will find Las Ramblas, one of the world's most vibrant strips. Oh, and then there's the nightlife, the shopping, the restaurants, the people... the list goes on.
