El Clásico aka Barcelona vs Real Madrid

There are numerous huge derbies around the footballing world, and depending on how you define the rivalry or spectacle, many can argue to be the biggest or best. That said, it’s hard to ignore the pulling power of interest in all but four countries on this planet of Spain’s most successful two clubs going head to head. Anyway, I’m not here, today at least, to make a case either way in this regard.

It is worth noting that the name ‘El Clásico’ goes further back than these two clubs – with the passionate River Plate and Boca Juniors rivalry in Argentina also having the tag – but there’s no doubt that to the average football fan in most countries, Spain’s big two are better known for it. Another factor not everyone realises is that the name ‘El Clásico’ used to only refer to Madrid and Barça meeting in the league whereas now it applies to any time they clash.

Barça and Madrid ideological clash

Madrid vs Barcelona

Gastronomy is appreciated in any corner of Spain and its quality is unquestionable! So when it comes to food, there are only different pros in Barcelona and Madrid.  

You can enjoy tapas, paellas, tortilla, and other typical Spanish flavors in both Barcelona and Madrid. With the exception of the “cocido Madrileño”, which you will only taste in Madrid. The best place to give it a chance is at the famous Mercado de San Miguel.

Architecture

Modern vs contemporary architecture

Barcelona, world-famous for Gaudí’s masterpieces, is a paradise for modernist enthusiasts. Being architecture one of the main reasons to visit Barcelona, this is one of the coolest things to do in this city, we risk saying even mandatory. But, it’s not all about Gaudí, Barcelona owns one of the most extensive Gothic old city centers in Europe!

As regards Madrid, the Spanish capital can rival with other European capitals such as Paris, Rome or Berlin, what’s that supposed to mean? Madrid’s a cosmopolitan city! Here you will be able to see different architectural styles range from Baroque to neoclassical buildings. The best place to start exploring Madrid architecture is along Gran Via. The most famous street in Madrid proudly exhibits beautiful Art Nouveau and Art Deco facades of banks, luxury shops, renowned cinemas, and theaters. 

Local activities

Beach vs Museums

Barcelona has a beach, Madrid doesn’t. So, if you’re looking for taking a sunbathe and dive into the sea during your holidays, Barcelona is the answer to your prayers. Usually hot in the summer, Barcelona takes advantage of its beaches to refresh, harder for Madrid. In Madrid, the heat can be suffocating in summer, since here the temperatures tend to be more extreme at different times of the year. 

But, it’s not all about beach, right? Madrid offers a lot of cultural activities and hosts three of the most famous art museums in Spain and Europe: Prado Museum, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza! Prado Museum alone attracts more than 2 million visitors per year, needless to say, that that is one of the most important in the world! Here they go the main reasons to visit the Prado Museum!

Barcelona also has some interesting museums, not so focused on art, but quite interesting and even with free admission!

So, which city fits you better? Have you already make a decision or, on the contrary, are you more torn?

Balde guessed right with a rebound, but finishing off from the goalkeeper’s corner turned out to be higher than the gate!

    • 11′

      Lewandowski heads the ball after a cross into the center of the Madrid penalty area – over the crossbar!
