Every place in the world stands out for its landscapes, cultures, languages, architecture and habits. Though, the new travel possibilities and laws regulating movements, reduced the perceived distances in the world and doubled the travel opportunities. Our planet seems smaller but this has a harmful aspect too; in fact everything appears to be the same the world over. However, by travelling, you will understand that new balances have been reached, above all in cities where various groups meet each other, creating vibrant, colorful places, perfect destinations for any culture lover. Barcelona is one of the these cities, and therefore one of the best places to better understand this feeling.
Melting pot of cultures, Barcelona is now a day one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the World, characterized by creative people, artists, cultural spaces, international restaurants and busy streets. Like many other global destinations, the city houses a blend of ethnically different population, almost completely integrated in the social fabric; it is not surprising, then, that Barcelona hosted among its boundaries the first Universal Forum of Cultures. From America to Asia, from Africa to Europe, the whole world is truly represented in this vibrant colorful town. Certainly, each of these cultural groups, besides having choose to live in Barcelona for its peculiarities, feels nostalgia for its own birthplace and culture. This led to the fusion of some aspects of the “new cultures” onto the main elements of the “hosting culture” creating interesting blends that reveal themseves in several distinct ways like festivals, uses, costumes, habits, and practices… A visit in Barcelona, then, can signify much more than sol, playas and tortillas. It is a walk among cultures, shared spaces and coexistence. Here you will surely meet people of different social, historical and cultural origins living together in a tolerant and respectful environment.
