Even though Don Quixote could not live as many long years to see how his city of merry has developed, his beautiful description about Barcelona still stays relevant today as it was in his time. What Paris is to France, Barcelona is to the citizens of Catalonia and Spain. Any traveller paying a visit to this land of hospitality, compassion and culture is sure to hark back to Cervantes’ book as s/he enjoys a sumptuous meal at its vibrant restaurants, cheers with the street parade for city’s sports teams or passes through its unique parks under a blue sky.
