Barcelona 101, get to know the city

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia. It is one of the most important cities in the world, as it is a commercial, cultural, scientific, entertainment, and fashion center. You will fall in love with Barcelona not only for its architectural beauty and rich history but also for its excellent gastronomic offer and sophisticated and fun atmosphere. It is definitely a destination that you have to visit.

When to go? 

The best time to visit this incredible city is during autumn or spring in the months of May, June, September and October, as this will avoid both extreme climates and excessive tourism.

How to get there? 

Recently, Aeroméxico inaugurated a direct flight to Barcelona, so getting there is now much easier. Previously, you had to make a stopover in another city.
