<h2 class=”text head”>barcelona</h2>
<p class=”text”>Barcelona is a great destination for a winter get-away, simply because it’s a tad warmer than most places in Europe, this time of year.

Candy Festival in March.<br />
<br />
And if that isn’t enough you can also catch a glimpse of the Barcelona FC superstars – an evening spent watching the likes of Messi, Suarez &amp; Neymar will be a great occasion.</p></div></div></div>
