Jet off to Catalonia
Nice and Barcelona have the Mediterranean in common, with its sunshine and the kind of light that makes life brighter and happier, an invitation to sharing and pleasure. However, the Epicurean spirit on La Rambla has a different flavour to that of Nice. Your Nice-Barcelona flight will bring you a real change of scene, filled with festivity and conviviality. Enjoy Catalan tapas and embutidos, long Barcelona nights sparkling with cava, the fantastic works of Gaudí and Miró, and the old stones of the Gothic Quarter. Although the flight only takes an hour, Nice and Barcelona are, in some ways, worlds apart!
