Hello, my name is Manuela, and I live in Barcelona. That's where we are now. 

2
00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:14.351
And I'm a vintage lover. And I think Barcelona is a good city to be a vintage addict, 

3
00:00:14.409 --> 00:00:23.129
because we have the [modernist] architecture. And that's a movement which made Barcelona at the end of the century a special city.

4
00:00:34.687 --> 00:00:37.776
This is Casa Batllo. It was designed by Antoni Gaudi. 

5
00:00:38.289 --> 00:00:44.360
And it's one of the most visible attractions in Barcelona, almost every tourist who come[s] to Barcelona visit[s] this place.

6
00:00:45.137 --> 00:00:50.226
Guadi was inspired by sea, forms of nature, and also bones.

7
00:01:04.891 --> 00:01:14.966
So we are now in the House of Asia, Casa Asia, which is a building which was commissioned by Baron Manuel de Quadras to the architect Puig i Cadafalch. 

8
00:01:15.396 --> 00:01:21.984
And this architect is not as famous as Gaudi, but he is also one of the important architects in modernism.

9
00:01:27.401 --> 00:01:38.375
Barcelona's most well-known building is Sagrada Familia, and that's a cathedral made by Antoni Gaudi. And it's been built for decades now, over a hundred years. 

10
00:01:38.796 --> 00:01:45.429
I think we could say that Sagrada Familia is the icon. It's the most-known building outside Barcelona.

11
00:01:46.241 --> 00:01:55.709
Barcelona was one of the most industrial cities in Spain and in Europe. So this was happening around and there was a lot of money for industrial, rich people. 

12
00:01:55.998 --> 00:02:01.901
So they wanted to invest that money in buildings and they wanted to be creative and different.

13
00:02:03.308 --> 00:02:09.883
What I love about modernist buildings is the way they create shapes and they mix it with colors.

14
00:02:18.495 --> 00:02:21.454
Hi, I'm Rose, and I've just moved to Barcelona from London.

15
00:02:22.015 --> 00:02:30.318
And I'm Peter, and I've also just moved to Barcelona from London, and one of the things that we've discovered that we very much enjoy is the Parc de la Ciutadella. So come with us.

16
00:02:39.004 --> 00:02:44.622
This is one of our favorite places in the park. It's this large fountain that's based on the Trevi Fountain in Rome. 

17
00:02:44.637 --> 00:02:50.993
It was designed by Antoni Gaudi's professor, actually, while he was a student in the architecture offices. 

18
00:02:51.249 --> 00:02:56.057
This whole area around here is very open and it's usually full of people and children.

19
00:03:06.084 --> 00:03:14.169
Hi. Now we're here in Plaza De La Vila De Gracia. It's one of the many beautiful little plazas in Barcelona, and somewhere that we really love hanging out. 

20
00:03:14.885 --> 00:03:19.276
And you can just sit and just watch the world go by. There's always different people and different things going on. 

21
00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:21.817
But one of the things that we really love to do is go and get ice cream.

22
00:03:22.785 --> 00:03:30.305
After a day of exploring Barcelona's sights, we love to go for a gin and tonic and this is one of our favorite gin bars in the whole of Barcelona. 

23
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.495
So, yeah, we're going to go and grab a gin and tonic now.

24
00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:42.507
We are working now with 60 different brands of gin. Simple things sometimes are the best things. 

25
00:03:42.579 --> 00:03:53.194
So, our gin tonics [are] no more than three ingredients most the times -- gin, tonic and we put something else, herbs or fruits, even inside the of the distillation of the gin making. 

26
00:03:53.285 --> 00:04:02.058
So with these gins, we can play a little bit more, like grate in nutmeg or put in like fresh basil or even a strawberry.

27
00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:12.645
Hello. I'm Carles Vilarrubi, vice president of FC Barcelona. 

28
00:04:13.151 --> 00:04:18.483
Welcome to Barcelona. Welcome to the Futbol Club Barcelona. Please come with me.

29
00:04:30.207 --> 00:04:38.950
This is, well, all our history, all our trophies, the players; this is the grass in which they play. 

30
00:04:40.263 --> 00:04:48.181
This is the famous goal in which the Flying Dutchman, Johan Cruyff, scored a famous goal in which flying with a...

31
00:04:48.278 --> 00:04:54.703
in a very, very difficult position, he scored the goal. And it is a famous goal all over the world.

32
00:05:00.321 --> 00:05:05.461
My name is Oscar, a Barcelona fan for 31 years now, 32 on Friday. 

33
00:05:05.599 --> 00:05:13.085
We're playing tonight a Champions League game against AC Milan. Gonna take it to my local bar, so if you want to join me, vamos.

34
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:22.542
This bar is Lo Fantastic. You can come here, have a few tapas, have a few drinks, 

35
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.259
and then you can walk to the stadium, which is like five or 10 minutes away. Great atmosphere.

36
00:05:31.001 --> 00:05:38.592
I think there's so much history in the club, and like even if you're not interested about history, if you like beautiful football, 

37
00:05:39.024 --> 00:05:46.747
you should give it a go, come to Barcelona. Go to the game. Messi's playing for us. Perfect weekend.
