I don't have word to explain this beautiful city!!!
I was in Barca and spend a four days (in Sabadell exactly). We trip by bus from Zagreb to Barcelona 25 hours but it pays. The Spanish people are unique, wonderful, and friendly. Barcelona, and its people, are even more so - there's something about the Gaudi architecture that just gives the place a vitality that's truly special. So, take a look some pics and info of Barcelona!!!
