This is Barcelona, Catalunya

Barcelona for peace

Barcelona. Demonstration against Iraq War (2003)
I think that the most interesting thing you can feel in this city are not the turistic places;
not the modernism, not La Rambla, not Gaudi, not -of course- bull-fighting, not sangria, not paella...
I'm sure that the most important in this city are the people. Everybody usually are in the streets for any reason: Cultural meetings, Sports events, political and civic demostrations... Barcelona is a complete example of a Mediterranian way of life.

Try to discover the real feeling of Barcelona. I'm sure that you'll apreciate it. BCN is much more than Sangria, Toros, Paella and -of course- Mexican Hats o]:-P

Welcome to Barcelona, Catalunya. Feel free to contact me for any question about Barcelona, and of course, my neighborhood: Gracia.

Now I'm working to show you Castellers pictures (Human Tower's) I'll try to build a page with all the event's in 2004)

Finally, sorry for my English level. I'll try to find an english-speak friend as soon as possible ;-P

Pros:"deep culture, warm weather, lovely food, civic responsibility, identity."
Cons:"a lot of tourists ;-), some pickpockets, a little bit dirt city"
In A Nutshell:"History, culture and warm people"
