The first stop on our first trip to Spain recently was in Barcelona. We had taken the night train from Paris and arrived at about 8 in the morning. The day was a bit grey, the ground was wet and an occasional drop of rain hit me as my girlfriend and I walked with our baggage to find our hotel.
The weather did not discourage me one bit. I had dreamt of coming to Barcelona since I had been introduced to Gaudi by a Catalan student and friend in college. Ever since that day I knew I had to see Sagrada Familia and Gaudi's other works for myself.
We only spent two days here this time but I hope to go back at some point. Barcelona is a wonderful place that has a big city name with a not so big city feel. There is plenty to do from arts and culture to night life and the beach. If I had to pick one city in Spain to live in it would be Barcelona. |
