• It has a collection of some of the world's most unique and distinctive Modernist architecture - hint: by the same local designer whose masterpiece church is still under construction 130 years after it was begun.

• One of Europe's most famous local markets, and restaurants serving the abundant harvest of Catalonia's land and sea.

• One of the world's most picturesque pedestrian promenades (where you'll find the tongue-in-cheek bronze 'Thinking Bull' statue that plays on the iconic 'The Thinker' by Rodin, pictured above).

• And a lifestyle any visitor is loathe to leave.
