Barcelona is an irresistible destination from Berlin — the contrast between the Germanic and Mediterranean cultures is itself part of the appeal. From Barcelona, renting a car opens up the Costa Brava to the north (stunning rocky coastline, Salvador Dalí connection), the Catalan Pyrenees for mountain driving, and the wine routes of Priorat and Penedès. April and May are particularly appealing months, coinciding with Barcelona's warm spring before the summer crowds arrive.
