Barcelona might just be the perfect holiday destination, boasting beaches, high culture and almost constant sunshine. The Catalan city is the ideal mini-break choice if you love art – there’s a museum dedicated to Picasso, who spent his formative years here, the Joan Miró Foundation and more recent addition, MOCO: home to a stellar array of modern and contemporary works. It’s also a haven for Gaudí disciples. The architect of the most famous unfinished building in the world (La Sagrada Familia, in the heart of the city) has a host of other sites to explore in Barcelona, from Casa Batlló to Park Güell. If you're more inclined towards a relaxing trip than a culture fix, we advise you spend your days wandering the streets of hip neighbourhood El Born or the narrow medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter, stopping for tapas, cava and sangria along the way (we told you it was city-break heaven).
