巴塞羅那是西班牙的第二大城市，該國(guó)最大的城市是首都馬德里。巴塞羅那處處充盈著歷史的氣息。這座城市由迦太基人建立，它的名字是從古迦太基的巴塞家族衍生而來(lái)的。這座城市被眾多征服者占領(lǐng)掠奪過(guò)，其中包括羅馬人和摩爾人，之后，阿拉貢人建立了加泰羅尼亞，定都于繁榮富強(qiáng)的巴塞羅那。20世紀(jì)70年代以來(lái)，這個(gè)城市重新恢復(fù)了加泰羅時(shí)期的繁榮。直到1992年舉辦了夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)，巴塞羅那才成為現(xiàn)代化的、充滿活力的城市。隨著城市的日漸繁榮，豪華和奢侈的酒店不斷涌現(xiàn)。?

巴塞羅那有著風(fēng)格迥異的引人入勝之處：紀(jì)念碑、建筑物，還有美食烹飪。巴塞羅那還有商業(yè)區(qū)以及購(gòu)物中心。你可以一邊欣賞美景，一邊在店鋪外瀏覽。

“米羅”是時(shí)裝界中享有盛譽(yù)的一個(gè)品牌，其服裝和鞋子的流行設(shè)計(jì)都源于巴塞羅那。該地區(qū)還生產(chǎn)其他國(guó)際品牌，如法國(guó)名牌“鱷魚”。

諾坎普是巴塞羅那足球隊(duì)的主場(chǎng)。不到諾坎普就不算到過(guò)巴塞羅那。巴塞羅那隊(duì)是歐洲最頂尖的足球隊(duì)之一，與另一支西班牙球隊(duì)皇家馬德里隊(duì)同時(shí)成立于1899年。在歐洲足球史上，巴塞羅那隊(duì)獲的獎(jiǎng)杯數(shù)比其他任何球隊(duì)都要多。諾坎普運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)可以容納112，000人，是觀看和進(jìn)行精彩球賽最好的場(chǎng)地之一。
