An Art Lovers' Guide

Barcelona

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC News North America

Art historians Dr Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke take us on three cultural citybreaks, hunting for off-the-beaten-track artistic treats - and finding new ways of enjoying some famous sights. In this first episode, they explore Barcelona famous for its exuberant modernista buildings, the Gothic Quarter and artistic superstars such as Picasso. Escaping the crowds, they also seek out remarkable but rarely visited museums and reveal how Barcelona developed its distinctive cultural identity and how the long-running fight for independence has shaped the artistic life of the city.
