BARCELONA

THE CITY OF ANTONIO GAUDI

It is impossible to talk about Barcelona without mentioning a work by Antonio Gaudí. Just like thinking about the genius of modernist architecture without associating it with images of the Catalan capital. The architect's distinctive style is part of the city's identity. Its decorative elegance and colorful mosaics appear when you least expect them. Barcelona and Gaudí are inseparable. From the medieval cobbled streets of the 'Barri Gòtic' to the grand modernist alleys of L'Eixample, the Catalan capital is a magnificent open-air museum. Bursting with color and creative energy, it is not only Gaudí's city but a city of a million faces. It's the fine golden sands of Barceloneta, the molecular gastronomy of Ferran Adrià, and the dribbling genius that is Messi. Its art, history, and Mediterranean exuberance rolled into one magnificent, timeless spectacle. If you're one of those people who believe that cities have a spirit of their own, well.....believe Barcelona is one of those cities!

TOULOUSE

A CITY WITH A YOUTHFUL SPIRIT AND ATMOSPHERE

Ochre roofs and reddish brick churches have called Toulouse "The Pink City" - La Ville Rose! A charming atmosphere captivates everyone in the Old Town, which is an artistic mix of shopfronts and coral-colored churches, and beyond, Toulouse has grown to become the fourth largest metropolis in France. Nestled between the bend of the Garonne River and the mighty Canal du Midi, it's quite a bustling area thanks to its waterways, which have been famous since medieval times. One of the largest universities in France is located here, hence the city's youthful breath, full of students and home to many scholars. Toulouse can entertain its residents and visitors by offering them lively food markets, boutique restaurants, and cafes, or nightlife presented in an author jazz scene, techno, and rock clubs! Time spent here is sure to be rosy - from the pink tower tops to the loudest bars!



ANDORRA LA VELLA

GATEWAY TO THE PYRENEES

Nestled in a verdant valley, 10 km northeast of Spain's Catalan border, Andorra's bustling and traffic-filled capital is a lively gateway to the impressive masses of the Pyrenees! At 1023 meters above sea level, it is the most elevated capital in Europe. Beyond the mega shops offering duty-free goods, the famous and largest spa complex on the continent, Andorra la Vella is an extremely friendly city whose charm still lies in the panoramas of the valley and the small cobbled old quarter of Bari Antique, which houses the 16th century Casa de la Val. For most travelers passing through from here, the town is a stepping stone to the snow-covered ski slopes, high-altitude trails, and mountain grandeur of the Andorran Pyrenees!

BORDEAUX

UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE

Bordeaux is a fantastic city that mixes high technology, history, architecture, gastronomy, wine, and a youthful spirit! It is the world's largest urban World Heritage Site, accommodating half of its territory in its UNESCO-listed treasure trove. Bordeaux's architecture is world-class, from the elegant symmetry of the Place de la Bourse to the stone-faced palaces, to the tree-shaded boulevards dotted with mansions built for wine merchants in the 18th century. Bordeaux's perfection continues today with breathtakingly beautiful creations, such as what resembles a giant wine decanter, gleaming white pebbles, and many more details that surprise around every corner! All the way across the city to the Atlantic coast is the gentle path of the Garonne River, which recalls this Gallo-Roman city's golden past as a medieval wine merchant and key port in Europe during the Age of Enlightenment. Today the prestigious vineyards and vibrant culture of the quay are the lifeline of the town, refreshments or a glass of wine on a waterfront terrace or a cruise on the water - a treasure that makes the river Goron worthy of everyone's full attention. Bordeaux is also the wine capital, surrounded by green, sun-drenched vineyards. Viticulture here is an ancient art and tradition bearing its own unique hallmarks, and no other vineyards in the world produce so much fine wine. Combined with the city's exceptional culinary scene - a daring mix of traditional French cuisines, experimental neo-bistros, creative fusion restaurants, food trucks, and cafes with baristas - this city truly gives everyone a unique atmosphere!
