CITIES

Wander around the Güell Park , anoth- er wonderful place to enjoy Gaudí's in- terplay of nature and architecture. But on your route you'll see much more than works by Gaudí. You'll marvel at the Modernist ensemble of Sant Pau and the Palau de la Música by the ar- chitect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Barcelona is home to large and small museums waiting to be discovered, such as the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Dalí House Muse- um . You'll find interesting exhibitions, workshops and activities in cultural centres like the CaixaForum .

Travel just a few kilometres outside the capital to find other fascinating cities. In Girona , for example, you'll see over 2,000 years of history in its two for- tified enclosures: the Força Vella and the mediaeval extension. In La Gar- rotxa you'll find attractive natural land- scapes and mediaeval villages. The Seu d'Urgell in Lleida will surprise you with its attractive historic centre and its Ro- manesque cathedral. The Roman lega- cy also awaits you in Tarragona , the site of the first Roman military foundation outside the Italian peninsula. Its circus and amphitheatre are two examples of its valuable monumental heritage.
