Barcelona Street Art

Barcelona is one of the most splendidly stylish places in the modern world.  Right in the heart of Europe, Barcelona is one of the great financial and creative capitals in the world.  It offers a veritable feast of attractions for its citizens and for travelers, both urban and natural.  It’s right on the Mediterranean Sea, and has enormously appealing beaches that attract nature-lovers, party-goers, and just about anyone who’s born with a pulse.  The pulse of the city is also tremendously exciting, and always on the move, always changing.  One of the most stylish ways, then, to see the city is at one of our 5 star Barcelona hotels.  We’ve selected the cream of the crop here, so you can choose between excellent lodgings that will far exceed your expectations.

Like all 5 star hotels, ours offer sumptuous rooms with understated and elegant decor, as well as fantastic meals prepared by chefs who are studied in classical and contemporary cooking techniques.  Barcelona is the best of the old and new worlds at once, and our accommodations are designed to mirror this gorgeous aesthetic.  After you’ve had some luxurious rest and a scrumptious meal here, you’ll be ready to see what Barcelona is all about.  One thing that’s immediately striking on the streets of Barcelona, after the architecture, is the graffiti.

Graffiti here is, like everything in Barcelona, amazing.  It’s truly absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous.  There are many different messages here, and some are more political than others, but there’s a spectacular sense of design going on.  It appears in spaces where there’s an empty wall or a sidewalk, and a lot of traffic.  Some of the artists are rather famous, and continuing in an old tradition of public art.  The newer forms use more stencils, and the look is very hip, and has a kind of raw street elegance.  Graffiti in Barcelona is not necessarily considered a public nuisance, and often enters into the realm of the museum.
