    暢游巴塞羅那
    巴塞羅那是西班牙第二大城市,僅次于首都馬德里。巴塞羅那處處透著歷史氣息,城市由迦太基人建立,根據(jù)傳統(tǒng),它的名字是從古迦太基的巴塞家族派生出來的。在經(jīng)過數(shù)不清的不同征服者,包括羅馬人和摩爾人對這個城市的掠奪后,阿拉貢人建立了繁榮富強的加泰羅尼亞,定都于巴塞羅那。二十世紀(jì)七十年代以來,這個城市重新宣告了它的加泰羅背景。但是直到1992年舉辦夏季奧運會后,巴塞羅那才成為今天這樣現(xiàn)代的、有活力的城市。隨著城市的日漸繁榮昌盛,豪華、大型的酒店不斷涌現(xiàn)。第一間雷文卡拉斯酒店是在1992年由西班牙國王和王后主持揭幕的。該酒店位于城北主要大學(xué)附近,由胡塞·路易斯·托爾斯經(jīng)營。 安東尼·高迪以卡以維特和米拉之家等建筑物,塑造了巴塞羅那無與倫比的形象,他還建造了奇妙的奎爾公園。安東尼·高迪在1926年逝世,未竟的大教堂是他的墓志銘。
    巴塞羅那有什么吸引人的地方?
    它有很多很多不同的引人之處:文化、休閑、紀(jì)念碑、建筑,還有烹調(diào)。巴塞羅那有商業(yè)區(qū),長五公里的購物區(qū)繞著大海直到北部,走在大街上,你可以一邊購物一邊探店。你可以看看建筑、紀(jì)念碑、博物館和飯店,既能購物又有玩的享受。
    米羅是時裝界中享有盛譽的一個品牌,這些服裝和鞋子的設(shè)計流行趨勢源自巴塞羅那。該地區(qū)還生產(chǎn)其他國際知名品牌的產(chǎn)品,比如法國的Lacose.不到諾坎普就不算是到過巴塞羅那,諾坎普是西班牙的球隊之一——巴塞羅那隊的主場。巴塞羅那隊與另外一支西班牙隊——皇家馬德里隊,歐洲最頂尖的球隊之一——同時成立于1899年。有馬拉多納和羅納爾多作為球員,這兩隊勇創(chuàng)佳績。在歐洲足球,巴塞羅那隊比其他任何一支球隊拿的獎牌都要多。諾坎普運動場可以容納十一萬二千人,是觀看和踢漂亮球賽的場地之一。
