A Mediterranean city that has always argued with the capital up the road. Barcelona's notables tilt unusually toward architects, sculptors, writers, artists, and journalists — the professions of a port that read European modernism early and ran with it, from Gaudí and the Modernista workshops through the Catalan press. Swimmers and a long poetry tradition round out the bench the Eixample's wide blocks and the old Gothic alleys built together.
