Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia, the semi-autonomous and culturally distinctive region which covers the country's northeastern corner.  Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is one of the wealthiest and cosmopolitan cities in Europe.  Top contributor iDrone Aerials used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create an amazing aerial portrait of this great city, which was founded by the Romans in the first century BC and hosted the Summer Olympics at the end of the 20th century.

AirVuz contributor and pilot DanDrone created this spectacular drone video of the great Catalan capital city, Barcelona.  One of the most important cultural centers in Europe, Barcelona has been heavily represented in world literature.  Probably the most famous book set in the city is George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.  The book is a non-fiction account of Orwell's time in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, and was to inspire (politically and artistically) his later fictional works.  

New contributor AfioNick brings us this drone video of the most famous church in Barcelona, Spain: the still-uncompleted Sagrada Familia.  Situated in the Eixample District near the center of the city, construction on the great structure began in 1882.  Funded with donations, construction was interrupted by several design changes, the Spanish Civil War, and technical issues associated with the extreme complexity of the design.  While the church was consecrated in 2010, it's not expected to be finished until the late 2020's.

For a longer aerial tour of the great Catalan city Barcelona, this video by contributor and pilot Martigen is for you.  It features extensive aerial footage of the city's Basilica otherwise known as Sagrada Familia, one of the most well known churches in the world despite being unfinished.  Construction on this masterpiece began in 1882, but for various reasons (including the Spanish Civil War) it is only now nearing completion, at which point it will be Europe's tallest religious structure.  

AirVuz contributor and pilot Defjux created this remarkable bird's eye view of the Plaça d'Espanya, the greatest public square in Barcelona, Spain.  It's in the Sants-Montjuïc, one of the city's ten official districts.  The Plaça was built for the 1929 International Exposition, a happy time for the city which was remembered fondly when the country plunged into civil war only seven years later.   The square is built at the junction of four of the city's most famous long thoroughfares. 

AirVuz contributor DefJux's drone video of Barcelona, Spain begins with a great shot of its Arc de Triomf on one of its great promenades, which was constructed for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair.  Most of the rest of the video focuses on the city's legendary beach front on the western Mediterranean Sea.  This is the area in the La Barceloneta neighborhood, bounded by the W Hotel Barcelona on the south end and the Casino on the north end.  The city's beach area is home to one of the greatest party scenes in Europe.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor AfioNick brings us this excellent drone video of a well-known church which sits on a hill overlooking Barcelona, Spain.  It's called the Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor), and it's located atop Tibidabo, a hill to the northwest of the city which rises to a height of just under 1.7k ft. above sea level (a bit over 500 m).  The church was completed in 1961 following a construction period of nearly six decades.

The Spanish city of Barcelona is known in part for its beaches.  The most famous is Barcelona Beach, which runs north of the harbor area in the neighborhood of Barceloneta.  This famous stretch of sand attracts millions of visitors per year, from across Spain and around the globe.  Check out magnificent Barcelona Beach from above in this drone video by AirVuz contributor and former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Eric_Avia_Gallardo.  The video was shot with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.
