Barcelona, Block by Block

Barcelona has everything: iconic architecture, a charming old town, vibrant modernity, enough art culture for a lifetime... all lying next to the glistening sea. For all those reasons and more, it's one of the most visited and loved cities in Europe. Barcelona Block by Block is the essential guide to the unmissable places to go, covering everything from restaurants to boutiques, galleries to parks, all illustrated with 50 of Cierra Block's distinctive maps. Each map starts with an idea - it might be, Where's the best tapas in Barcelona? How should I see some of Gaudí iconic buildings? Or, where can you lose hours people-watching? From there, Cierra has curated a list of the best places from Gràcia to the Gothic Quarte, El Raval to El Born, and has painted a charming accompanying map. Paella to art, the most impressive views to beach-side activities, there really is something for everyone.
