Barcelona is a city that has reinvented itself throughout history. So many times, in fact, that Barcelona is known as the city with a thousand faces. There is the industrial Barcelona, the Olympic village, and the city of festivals and expos. There is also the Barcelona of design, the stately and distinguished City of Counts, and the ancient Barcino. In this book, two writers divulge all the Barcelona's and their histories for our astonished eyes, corner to corner, plaza to plaza, street to street.
