  Changes are afoot in the Catalan capital: the palpable surge of national pride as the region is granted more independence is giving a boost to every aspect of Barcelona life. While arts agendas are given a fillip and grand architectural schemes are dreamt up, the city is also seeing a return to its roots, with old traditions brushed off and ancient festivals given renewed vigour. The 11th edition of 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.

  Unparalleled in its enthusiasm for a good time, Barcelona barely has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals. When there isn't an all-night fiesta happening on the street, there's more than likely a party on the beach and never any shortage of action in its clubs and bars. All of this takes place in a perfect climate and against a backdrop of mind-blowing modernista architecture and a cityscape as varied as any. Gentler pursuits are also myriad; the city's museums have got it all covered from Picasso to perfume, it's galleries are among the most avant-garde in Europe and its history writ large in the churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri Gotic. The 12th edition of Time Out Barcelona remains the ultimate reference for all the essentials: where to stay, where to eat, where to shop and what to see.
