Today's Geo Quiz is a breeze... if you know your architecture.

The city we're looking for is home to La Sagrada Família. That's the still unfinished basilica designed by Antoni Gaudí. Then there's the Palace of Catalan Music. Both are considered architectural jewels and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Today this city has a vibrant musical scene. In our Global Hit, I'll tell you about a local band that's known for its blend of hip hop and flamenco.

The city is located along Spain's Mediterranean Coast less than a hundred miles from the French border.

Residents of this city are currently enjoying a new transportation option. They call it "bicing." The city has a fleet of bicycles that locals can borrow to get around.

We'll tell you about more about that in today's answer.
