Flights Barcelona mean access to the capital of Catalonia and its many attractions; from the stunning architecture of Gaudi to art galleries and museums. For a longer stay, outside the city there are beautiful sandy beaches and the picturesque Montserrat mountain range. One sight not be missed is the fabulous Sagrada Familia. Although unfinished, this cathedral is impressive and visitors can climb to the top for a good view of the inside of the cathedral and the carvings on the towers. Park Guell is another fine example of Gaudi's work but is best visited during the week in the summertime as it can become very crowded. The Fundacio Joan Miro houses the largest collection of the artist's work anywhere in the world. Only a small percentage of the works can be displayed at any one time but it is still a beautiful museum.
