HIT THE SPLOPES!!
After an extreme makeover lasting more than two decades, Barcelona has transformeditself into one of the most dynamic and stylish cities around the world. In a privilegedposition on the northeastern coast of the Iberian peninsula and bordering the Pyrenees,Barcelona, capital of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain in both size andpopulation and it is unequivocally a Mediterranean city, not only because of geographiclocation, but also because of its history, tradition and cultural influences.
Barcelona’s climate offers cool winters and hot summers…even though it has its down-sides, everyone of us is enjoying the surprisingly pleasant temperatures this winter. Forsnow lovers, Catalonia offers great slopes and excellent skiing resorts close toBarcelona in the Pyrenees, which are great for 1-3 day trips at affordable prices. Wewill introduce you two of them: La Molina and Vall de Nuria.
Slightly further away, in Andorra, you can find the grand snow capital of the Pyrenees:Grandvalira; with 193 km of ski slopes of all levels, it is one of the biggest and mostlegendary ski resort, with spectacular landscapes and panoramic views.
