"Grand boulevards such as Passeig de Grącia radiate from the center city. Most were laid out in the 1800s when Barcelona expanded beyond its medieval core. Spain's second largest city after Madrid and home to 1.6 million people, Barcelona cleaned up to host the 1992 Olympic Games, adding plazas, gardens, and sculpture and restoring its long-neglected seafront."
—From "Barcelona: Star of the New Europe," December 1998, National Geographic magazine
