CASE STUDY
Barcelona
Introduction
Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain
a
nd the capital of the Catalonia region. Tourism to Barcelona
increased a great deal after the city was awarded the Olympic Games in 1992. The arrival of the Olympic
Games meant that many new facilities were develope
d
and the port area was re-developed. As part of the
re-development four artifi cial beaches were created
a
long the sea front. Barcelona has an international
reputation for architecture and design with an unrivalled c
o
llection of modernist buildings. The best example
of this is the Cathedral La Sagrada Familia by the famous
a
rc
h
itect Gaudi.
