Beautiful, enchanting, mysterious, romantic and quirky – Barcelona is all of these things.
Understandably, visitors 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 they'll likely fall in love with it all over again. 
For those who've never been, there's a good chance the book will seal the city as a bucket list priority.
Publisher TeNeues says: '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.
