Not many will resist the temptation to spend an unforgettable evening in the company of a loved person in Barcelona, especially after watching one of the romantic films, shot in Barcelona, which are described below.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
This film, directed and written by Woody Allen, is a romantic comedy and a drama at the same time.

Vicki is soon going to get married, she appreciates calmness, trust and stability in the relations, while Christina is looking for the exciting love adventures. Almost right away after the arrival, the girls get acquainted with the charismatic Spanish artist Juan Antonio, who proposes to spend a weekend together. Christina immediately agrees, and Vicki refuses resolutely, not knowing that this chance encounter will turn her world upside down…
It was the first movie by Woody Allen, filmed in Spain. The film was partially financed by the municipality of Barcelona, which allocated one million euros, and by the regional government of Catalonia, which allocated half a million from its own treasury.
The nature of Barcelona, which is shown in the film, the father’s house- are magnificent. There are many details, and the plot of the film sparkles and shimmers like a mosaic on the façade, made by Gaudi. The film is tragicomic, just like our life. A good film for recreation. A nice addition – beautiful Spanish music and natural shots of Barcelona, which look like the ready-made painting.
