Why Is Barcelona the Most Beautiful City in the World?

We explore Barcelona’s distinctive urban design, from the Eixample’s rectangular blocks and wide streets to the superblocks created to give pedestrians more space and reduce traffic. We visit the Sagrada Família and learn about its long, interrupted construction and Gaudí’s role in its design. We also visit Camp Nou and discuss the cultural and political significance of Barcelona and football to Catalonia’s identity.
