Barcelona is the second most populated city in Spain and the Iberian Peninsula.

It is also recognized as a
"global city" for its great cultural, historical and architectural wealth. That is why it has been chosen on multiple
occasions for the realization of major world events, such as the Olympic Games or the Universal Forum of
Cultures.
In the city of Barcelona there are two mountains that dominate the views, so they have been converted into
viewpoints. One of them is Montjuic. Montjuic is a small hill located next to the port. At its top is an old military
castle that served to guard the entrance to Barcelona from the sea. In this place there is also the botanical
garden that has a unique collection of cactus. Other highlights of this city are the gastronomy and the large
number of parks. The best known parks are Güell Park and Parque de la Ciudadela.
