Barcelona es una ciudad en la costa noreste de España. Es la capital y la ciudad más grande de la comunidad autónoma de Cataluña, así como el segundo municipio más poblado de España después de Madrid. Con una población de 1.7 millones dentro de los límites de la ciudad, su área urbana se extiende a numerosos municipios vecinos dentro de la provincia de Barcelona y es hogar de alrededor de 5.7 millones de personas, lo que la convierte en la quinta área urbana más poblada de la Unión Europea después de París, el área del Ruhr, Madrid y Milán. Es una de las metrópolis más grandes en el mar Mediterráneo, ubicada en la costa entre las desembocaduras de los ríos Llobregat y Besòs, y delimitada al oeste por la cordillera de la Serra de Collserola.
