In this second episode on Barcelona we hear why the city is the place for life’s great ventures. Over the course of history, artists from all over the world have created some of their most influential work in Barcelona. Take Picasso, Miro and Dali for example; they came to Barcelona during the formative years of their careers and in this city they were able to do something extraordinary.

But how, and why Barcelona? Well, as we discover, this is more than a city. Creation and creativity run so deeply through its DNA that some even consider the greatest invention of Barcelona to be Barcelona itself.
