The city is located at a meeting spot of two extremes; along the Mediterranean Sea but only 160 kilometres from the snowy Pyrénées mountain region.

Travelling by hire car in Barcelona

Hiring a car in Barcelona will provide a great sense of freedom and mobility. The city has a rich history, which is intwined with the whole existence of Spain as a nation. What started out as 'Barcino', a roman fortification, has grown into the impressive Catalonian capital. Its 10 districts, all unique in style, are well worth a visit.
