"That's where I live, and I love it!" Barcelona by morganna

Barcelona Travel Guide: 11,761 reviews and 20,783 photos

This is a composition about Gaudi stuff.
It's like fish skin or like the sea, isn't it? I love Gaudi work, I love the way he worked stone and materials.

Diagonal area

One of the highlights, in my oppinion, of BCN is the (private)architecture. Modern like this in the picture, typicall like Gaudi & company, or just ancient like the delicious gothic.
There's no official museums or palaces (this is not the chapital, heh) but... street is the alternative!

Don't miss it. Walk around and watch, and it's free.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Thousands of things to discover every day
Cons:Sometimes it's a bit crowded

I could tell you about the warm, wonderful people. I could tell you about the inspiring architecture. I could tell you that Barcelona is the Queen of the Mediterranean and fantastic value for money. But then again, why fib?
