Cosmopolitan Barcelona is the vibrant capital of Catalunya, the proud and distinct region tucked in the NW corner of Spain. Franco's oppressive fascism is long gone and regional creative and independent spirit is on a roll. Locals speak Catalan—not Spanish—and dance the sardana, not flamenco. Visca (Long live) Catalunya! #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #barcelona
