Barcelona- Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona- Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti sere gaviota de tu bella mar
Barcelona- Suenan las campamas
Barcelona- Abre tus puertas al mundo
('Barcelona' lyrics by Freddie Mercury)

The region was known as the kingdom of Aragon for some time. And then Barcelona became very important political, commercial and shipping centre.
