City Guide Barcelona
On the occasion of the 37th America’s Cup, the Louis Vuitton City Guide pays its first visit to Barcelona, celebrating Spain’s second largest city, the capital of Catalonia. Nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean, this lively, creative metropolis has a long history of reinventing itself and stands proud today with more splendour and spirit than ever.
Seen through the eyes of guest contributor Sergio Caballero, co-founder of the Sónar electro festival, Barcelona unveils its striking contrasts, great open-mindedness and vast influence in every domain: a shrine to modern architecture, contemporary art and fine craftsmanship, a culinary capital, a treasure for history buffs, a pilgrimage for boating enthusiasts...
Exclusive photography by Pascal Aimar, a member of the Tendance Floue collective, reveals the extraordinary wealth of this phenomenal city, from iconic landmarks to lesser-known gems.
Both a trendsetter and an indicator of what is to come, a finger on the pulse of the developments at the heart of today’s cities, the Louis Vuitton City Guide has been exploring the world’s most vibrant metropolises for 20 years. Today, the collection includes just over 30 cities, scrutinised by the educated eye of authors from diverse horizons, experts in design, contemporary art, fashion, beauty, gastronomy and sports. From Paris to New York City to London to Tokyo, from the most fabulous hotels to the most sought-after restaurants, from the most tantalising boutiques to legendary historical sites and places that deserve to be better known, the world’s major capitals tell their stories in the most unique, subjective way.
