 | | At once international and provincial, trend-setting and conservative, hedonistic and industrious, ancient and ultra-modern, Barcelona embraces paradoxthe source of the citys allure and the basis for its art. |
 | | The people of Barcelona live through paradox as well, combining what they call seny (a cool common sense) with a strong hedonistic streak (rauxa), which encourages the citys sun, siesta, and sangria image. |
 | | Barcelona is also one of Europes most diverse cities, with immigrants and expatriates from as far afield as Africa and the Americas. |
