Weddings in Barcelona

Spain is a magnificently beautiful country for a wedding and the ancient and colorful city of Barcelona most especially so. Here couples will find romantic wedding venues that have served lovers for hundreds of years, and there are few cities anywhere in the world that can boast of the architecture and the art that is Barcelona's by right.

The world-renowned painter Joan Miró lived and worked in Barcelona, as did Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Their work and their influence can still be seen and felt to this day, infusing the entire cultural life of Barcelona with an almost electric intensity that can be found nowhere else in the world. A wedding in Barcelona is a unique experience and one which hundreds of couples each year take full advantage of.

Barcelona is one of the oldest cities in the world. Its founding goes back more than 2,500 years when the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians established a trading outpost at what is today the beautiful port of Barcelona.

Over the centuries Barcelona has been conquered by the Romans, the Visigoths, the Moors and finally the Spanish. Each conquering culture has left its mark on the city, and today Barcelona is a magnificent tapestry of art and cultures and architecture that is certain to enhance your enjoyment of this magnificent city and add to the total ambiance of your most special of days.

Barcelona's warm and inviting weather and its myriad gardens and lush parks have helped to make the city a haven for romantics and lovers from around the world. Barcelona also serves as a hub for many other local tourist destinations, such as the nearby Balearic Islands, the Costa Brava, just up the coast to the north, the beautiful and lush wine country to the West, as well as the historic Roman City of Tarrango just to the South.

Barcelona itself has many faces for you and your lover to explore. There is the modern city, filled with trendy shops and fancy restaurants and a fantastic nightlife, but there is also the older Gothic Quarter, with its cobblestone streets and quiet cafes, and the many museums and ancient churches that dot this magnificent city.

If you are looking for a romantic and affordable place for your wedding, the city of Barcelona on the Northeastern coast of Spain, with the beautiful blue Mediterranean lapping at your feet and almost three hundred days of sunshine a year, offers virtually everything that a bride and groom could wish for.
