Beautiful, enchanting, mysterious, romantic and quirky – Barcelona is all of these things.
When people visit, they fall in love with it.
And when they see the incredible images French photographer Serge Ramelli has captured for his lavish coffee table book Barcelona, it’s likely, publisher teNeues says, that they’ll fall in love with it all over again.
For those who’ve never been, there’s a good chance it’ll become a bucket list priority, it adds.
TeNeues continues: ‘With his distinctive eye for the atmosphere – as much as the architecture – of a place, the YouTube and Instagram star captures Barcelona’s most beloved districts and landmarks in all of their seductive magic. This volume is a beautiful, evocative tribute to one of Europe’s most popular cities.
‘A subtle play of colours in the sky over the Sagrada Familia, mysterious luminescence in the Barri Gòtic or a moment from the ordinarily lively Rambla that looks like it’s from another era – the photos taken by Serge Ramelli literally show Barcelona in a new light.’ Scroll down for a sneak peek of 10 of the incredible images in the tome.
