Lying on northeast of Mediterranean cost of the Iberian peninsula, the city of Barcelona is the second largest city of Spain. It is the most cosmopolitan and most economically active city. The city is known to renovate itself continuously with the latest international tendencies.  It is the Capital of the Catalonian Region where two official languages are spoken: Catalan and Spanish. The city is continually reinventing itself: the sweeping urban renewal and facelift leading up to the 1992 Olympics were but the latest step in a process that started two thousand years ago when the Carthaginians and Romans settled here.
