【玩轉(zhuǎn)歐洲】巴塞羅那：地中?；靵y的熱情
巴塞羅那是同名省省會、加泰羅尼亞自治區(qū)首府，西班牙第二大城市，第一大工商城和港口。面積91平方公里，人口175萬。它東瀕地中海，全城位于兩座小山之間的狹長地帶。
巴塞羅那是西班牙有名的“音樂城”，西班牙許多音樂名家，如巴勃羅.卡薩爾斯，出生于該市。有名的音樂噴泉，每當(dāng)開放，必定吸引著無數(shù)游客前往，噴泉水柱和激光光束隨著音樂的強(qiáng)弱而變化，游人或沉浸于美妙的旋律之中，或隨之翩翩起舞，流連忘返。這里城建規(guī)劃講究，市容整潔美觀。城市以北的“美麗海岸”為西班牙四大旅游區(qū)之一。
No matter how many times you visit Barcelona, there's always something new to discover. It has a fascinating culture and history, as well as miraculous architecture. Plus, it's right on the Mediterranean coast, so it also has beautiful beaches.
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a region in northern Spain. Catalonia was an independent nation before becoming part of Spain, and Barcelonans are very proud of their Catalan history.
They consider themselves Catalan first, then Spanish, and they speak their own language, which is also called Catalan.
Most restaurants have Spanish and English menus, especially touristy places, but it would be a good idea to get a guidebook that has useful Catalan phrases and words.
著名景點(diǎn)介紹：
【神圣之家】是一座由許多尖塔和樓臺組成的教堂群體，加泰羅尼亞著名建筑家高迪的杰作。它始建于1882年，原址是一座小教堂。高迪經(jīng)過精心設(shè)計(jì)，把這座小教堂擴(kuò)建成一座長90米、寬60米的大教堂。外部有三扇大門，每扇門的項(xiàng)端豎立四個(gè)尖塔，共十二個(gè)尖塔，象征著耶蘇的十二個(gè)弟子。這座建筑群古新結(jié)合氣魄雄偉，塔的四周雕廊畫棟，飛檐翹角，結(jié)構(gòu)奇特，錯落有致。中心塔有螺旋形樓梯，登上塔項(xiàng)，可以鳥瞰四周，飽覽全市風(fēng)貌。在建筑學(xué)上，這座教堂具有極大的研究價(jià)值。
