Barcelona in short
Barcelona is where most Spain trips begin, and for good reason: two airports' worth of cheap flights, a walkable Gothic core, and modernista architecture that turns an ordinary street corner into a reason to stop.
It is busy and it is not the cheapest city on this list, but it connects to everywhere. Trains south to Valencia take under three hours, which makes it the natural first stop on an east-coast run.

Why visit Barcelona?
Architecture you can walk between
Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló and Park Güell sit within a few metro stops of one another.
City and sea in one day
You can spend the morning in a medieval alley and the afternoon swimming at Barceloneta.
The best transport links in Spain
High-speed trains, budget flights and night buses all radiate out from here.
Things to do
Gothic Quarter wander
Start at the cathedral and get deliberately lost — the best squares are the ones you do not plan.
Bunkers del Carmel
A free hilltop viewpoint with the whole city laid out below; locals bring a drink and watch the sunset.
Park Güell
Book the monumental zone ahead of time, or walk the free upper park for the same view without a ticket.
Sant Antoni market
Less touristed than La Boqueria, with tapas bars around it that locals actually use.
