Welcome to my hometown, BARCELONA. I love my city, it's great!! It has beaches, a natural park on the mountain, an amusement park, cinemas, theatre, an olympic stadium, an aquarium, Imax, 5 important shopping areas, metro, buses, trains and an airport that makes its network the best of the area. I'm sure that most of you have heard of Barcelona, specially for the Olympics in 1992. Barcelona changed a lot because of the games. The city was oppened to the sea, new beaches, Maremagnum, El Port Vell... Barcelona started being a beauty! Arrangements in the streets were made, new services were in order, a new city was awaking! Let's talk of the Barcelona we can find nowadays; the areas we can distinguish and what can we see in each of them. |
