Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. In a privileged position on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both size and population. It is also the capital of Catalonia, 1 of the 17 Autonomous Communities that make up Spain. It combines modern and historic architecture like no other city. After a makeover lasting more than two decades, Barcelona has transformed itself into one of the most dynamic and stylish cities in the world. Summer is serious party time, but year-round the city sizzles - it's always on the biting edge of architecture, food, fashion, style, music and good times. Growing amount of visitors made Barcelona hotels to have an average year-round occupancy of 85% - the highest in Europe as a consequence rates have shot up recently. The issue of mushrooming Hotels in Barcelona construction has been hugely controversial in recent years, as Old City blocks of flats are cleared of any remaining tenants to make way for more four-stars, and towering business hotels spring up around the periphery. Amount of tourists is growing and it means Barcelona accommodation develops and improves.
