  • Discover the Natural Beauty & Complex History of Catalonia • Appreciate
    Discover the natural beauty & complex history of Catalonia Appreciate charming Girona, nestled on the banks of the Onyar River Explore Roman archaeology in Tarragona & visit the magnificent monastery of Poblet Understand the Catalan character through the architectural legacy of Modernisme found in Barcelona Stay in two centrally located historic hotels in Barcelona (5*) & Girona (4*) Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona Catalonia, with its fertile plains and sunny shores, is one of the most distinctive and beautiful regions in Spain. With its own language as well as a markedly defined culture, cuisine and character, it is made up of four provinces: inland Lleida and coastal Girona, Barcelona and Tarragona, the latter three of which we shall visit. As you will discover, many of the Catalan people feel a proud ‘independentista’ spirit, rooted in a turbulent past where they have been forced to defend their national identity, again and again. The former Greek colony of Emporion (“Trading Place”) in north eastern Spain became a strategic settlement through the wars between Rome and Carthage, then with the arrival of the Romans in the early third century BC came the development of the great metropolis, Tarraco (capital of Hispania Citerior) and the important city of Barcino. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Catalonia was ruled by the Visigoths until Muslim conquest in 718, which (unlike within the rest of Spain) here lasted only eighty years before being pushed back by the Franks. The architectural legacy of the Arabs can be seen alongside Girona’s beautifully restored monuments, spreading out from the cathedral where the Arab inspired baths are found next to the old Jewish quarter, Romanesque churches and Benedictine monasteries.

  • Spain Itinerary
    Spain – Sample Itinerary Day One We will hit the ground running as we stroll through the streets of Barcelona as we head over to enjoy our first taste of Spanish cuisine for lunch. In the afternoon, we will be guided on a tour of the Old Jewish Quarter. We will walk through the ancient Jewish streets of Barcelona and see what’s left and learn what once was. Particular focus will be placed on Shlomo ben Aderet, the “Rashba,” a medieval rabbi, halachic scholar, and Talmudist who was born in Barcelona and was a leader of Spanish Jewry in his time. We will also visit Sinagoga Major, said to be the oldest synagogue in Europe. Originally constructed in the 3rd century, the synagogue was lost for nearly 500 years and then rediscovered in modern times. Restoration began in 1997 and the synagogue was opened to the public in 2002. We will then take a maritime tour of Barcelona on the beautiful wooden yacht, the Goleta Karya, sailing along the Mediterranean coast. Back on shore, you will have some free time to shop and explore. Day Two The first stop today will be the Jardins de Miramar which are public gardens with views over the harbor. Next is the Museum Fundacio Joan Miro which houses a collection of modern art. We will then visit the Nou Camp Stadium, home of the Barcelona Football Club and one of the world’s most impressive and largest stadiums. It will then be time to shop at L'illa Diagonal, a gargantuan mall housing 170 shops and restaurants, two 4- star hotels, and a sports center.

  • The Barcelona Market System
    261 The Barcelona Market System Manuel Guàrdia, José Luis Oyón and Nadia Fava Barcelona appears as an interesting case study in the research on modern market systems because of its singularity, despite the fact that her first steps towards modernisation were taken somewhat belatedly in comparison with pioneering countries such as England or France. Considered in the long term, the process was more constant and ended up consolidating an extraordinary market system that is virtually unique in contemporary urban Europe. Not only has it preserved a remarkable architectural heritage that still exists today, but it has also played a leading part in the municipal politics of the last decade. In those countries where it has been the object of more study, the mar- ket system would gradually give way to ‘more modern’ commercial formulas during the second half of the twentieth century. In Barcelona, however, mar- kets underwent a decisive modernisation and an almost explosive growth, increasing in number from the eighteen that existed in 1940 to the forty that exist today, and from the nineteen sixties onwards old market buildings have been, and are still being, renovated. This fact seems to be related to two significant issues: the late introduction of new forms of retail distribution and the comparatively compact urban growth over the nineteen fifties and sixties. In the nineteen eighties, municipal technical services began to consider the market system a key asset for restructuring retail networks in neighbour- hoods and a tool enabling commercial urbanism to control the oligopoly of hypermarkets. Despite the fact that the latest renovations have placed architecture and urban planning once again in the foreground, we should not regard market buildings from an exclusively architectural point of view but consider the system as a whole as a case study that sometimes seems to contradict the processes undergone in other cities of the Western world.

    Celeste Belyea [email protected] www.getupandgo2.com 866-673-3019 | 386-852-1921 BARCELONA, SPAIN OVERVIEW Introduction Barcelona, Spain's second-largest city, is inextricably linked to the architecture of Antoni Gaudi. His most famous and unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia, is the emblem of the city. Like the basilica, Barcelona takes traditional ideas and presents them in new, even outrageous, forms. And the city's bursts of building and innovation give the impression that it's still being conceived. Both the church and the city can be tough places to get a handle on, yet their complexity is invigorating rather than forbidding. Since it hosted the Summer Olympics in 1992, Barcelona has been on the hot list of European destinations. The staging of the Universal Forum of Cultures in 2004 also raised the city's profile. Over the past decade, better infrastructure, increased cruise ship traffic and a reputation for gastronomic excellence have put Barcelona at the forefront of European city destinations, but recent political activity has affected the tourism industry and economy of the city. Sights—La Sagrada Familia; La Pedrera; La Catedral (La Seu); Santa Maria del Mar. Museums—Museu Picasso; Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya; Fundacio Joan Miro; Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat; Museu Maritim de Barcelona; Caixaforum. Memorable Meals—Lunch at Escriba Xiringuito on the seafront; high-end Mediterranean fare at Tragaluz; fashionable, inventive dishes at Semproniana; Albert Adria's Nikkei cuisine at Pakta; creative, seasonal Catalan fare at Gresca. Late Night—Flamenco at Los Tarantos; drinks and a view at Mirablau; wine at La Vinya del Senyor; dancing at Otto Zutz.
