  Barcelona will be the focus of world attention in 1992 when the Olympic Games are held there. With 90,000 people visiting Barcelona from Britain each year, this event is likely to boost tourism to the city still further. The portable World Travel Guide to Barcelona & Catalonia is a companion for all those who seek information not only on the sights and entertainments but also on the practicalities of spending time in the region. Barcelona hotels, restaurants and bars are detailed in a selective list and there is a wealth of practical information on subjects such as public transport and shopping. There are itineraries of the city and around the many features of interest that Catalonia has to offer. Concise cultural and historical information provides a useful background to the descriptions of famous sights and suggested itineraries. The guide also points the way to some of the less well-known places, monuments and points of interest which the visitor may, otherwise miss. There are full colour, well designed maps with helpful street plans.
