  Changes are afoot in the Catalan capital, with the palpable surge of national pride as the region is granted more independence giving a boost to every aspect of Barcelona life. As arts agendas are given a fillip and ever more grander architectural schemes are dreamt up to keep pace with Jean Nouvel's, Richard Rogers' and Enric Miralles' recent contributions to the skyline, the city has also seen a return to its roots, with old traditions brushed off and ancient festivals given renewed vigour. The tenth annual Time Out Barcelona looks at the changes and remains the ultimate reference for all the essentials: where to stay, where to eat, where to shop and what to see.

  As the dust settles after Barcelona's multi-million euro extravaganza, the Universal Forum of Cultures, the city deliberates on what to do with its expensive and controversial legacy: portside leisure areas, new exhibition spaces and thousands of hotel beds. This is all good news for the tourist, of course, who benefits from more choice than ever, not only in a vastly improved accommodation sector, but in a revived arts and cultural agenda. The restaurant scene, too, has been given a boost after the city's Year of Gastronomy and thanks to the overwhelming success of Ferran Adria's restaurant El Bulli.
