Barcelona is regarded as Spain’s second city, behind capital Madrid. The city is steeped in history, Barcelona was

founded by Carthaginians and according to tradition, its name was derived from the great Barker family of ancient Carpage. After numerous different conquers, including the Romans and the Moores that ravaged the city, the Argons made Catalonia, of which Barcelona was the capital. Strong and prosperous. Since the 1970s, the city has reasserted its Catalon background. But it wasn’t until the summer Olympics in 1992 did Barcelona became the modern, vibrant city that it still is today. And with this prosperity has come luxury and fabulous hotels. The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992, by the King and Queen of Spain. It’s situated in the north of the city, near the main University and it’s run by Jose Louise Torres.
