The Barri Gòtic ('Gothic Quarter' in Catalan) is the centre of the old city of Barcelona.
Anyway, whether beautiful and romantic Barri Gòtict is truly Gothic is the subject of endless debate,it is, on the other hand, definately the most evocative neighborhood in Spain.
So stroll around the small labyrinthine streets opening out into squares, come across gurgling fountains, vintagestores, and ancient fortifications and get inspired, the way artists like Picasso and Mir were. The latter was actually born in these very streets.
Many of the buildings passing by date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona and remains of the squared Roman Wall are still preserved in this quarter, closed to regular traffic.

When I was strolling along the Barri Gotic I've heard some music playing. It was a girl with a harp, a street artist. She played really wonderful, and the magic atmosphere of the gothic quarter made it all even more impressive... It was starting to get dark, and she had some candles lit on the ground around her.
Anyway, Barri Gotic is one of my most cherished impressions of Barcelona.
