3. It Has a Lot of Greenspace
Barcelona is a bustling urban center, but it also has plenty of peaceful parks. A full ten percent of the city is parkland. The largest park in Spain, Parc de Montjuic, is located here.

4. It’s a Pedestrian Paradise
Not only does Barcelona love its parks, it also loves its dedicated pedestrian streets. Maybe it’s because the local drivers have such a bad reputation, but much of the city is deemed “no cars allowed”. There are enough safe walking zones in the city to cover 260 football fields.
