Im doing my Graduation Project in Barcelona, what should I do?

Question

Well, I need to spend 30 hours doing it. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

You've started well -- Barcelona is in Catalunya!!  An astonishing number yahoo questioners  think Barcelona is "OTHER"!!  You might want to look there, those blind pigs might find a truffle.

Personally (I am a foodie, obviously) I'd focus on the restaurants - molecular gastronomy, deconstructionalism, etc.

Architecture -- Gaudi is fantastic - especially the Park and the cathedral.

History -- the resistance to fascism during the Civil War -- read Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.

The people - the Catalans are terrific, just don't ever call them Spanish.

30 hours is not enough -- you should visit!

Answer 2

Easy!

Read Barcelona by Robert Hughes. ISBN 1 86046 634 6.

Have a look at www.bcn.es. the city's website.

Read all the guide books for background and links.

Good luck!
