I’m traveling to Barcelona for a few weeks in May and I wonder if anyone has any good Barcelona-related book recommendations for me? I’m primarily interested non-fiction, particularly history, travel writing (no travel guides though, I already have a couple), (auto)biographies and books about popular culture but feel free to recommend fiction as well.
I’ll also be traveling briefly to Nice, Sardinia and Sicily so if you have any recommendations for those places as well feel free to throw them in.
Thanks.
