Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia, is vibrant, artistic and cosmopolitan with a Mediterranean climate and setting with its attractive seafront, beaches and harbour. This is a key destination for all ages and interests with the choice of world class art galleries and fashion boutiques, before sampling the local tapas, wines, beers and lively nightlife. Las Ramblas is a popular pedestrian area to stroll along, full of street entertainment, music, cafés and bars with a lively atmosphere and enjoy a city tour to see the famous Gaudi architecture, churches, cathedral and Picasso Museum.
Passengers travelling from Edinburgh to Barcelona are also able to book onward flights from Edinburgh (checking your bags through to final destination) to Alicante, Asturias, Bilbao, Grenada, Ibiza, Malaga, Mallorca, Menorca, Santiago and Seville.
This new direct flight is ideal for all you Edinburgh clubbers out there heading to Ibiza and Mallorca for fun in the sun. Summer in Spain is now much nearer than you think!
