I have always wanted to visit Barcelona, and I finally made it. Barcelona airport (terminal B) is under renovated progress. With all the warning that the Vters have had given regarding all the scams, pickpocket, taxi, etc... I could not help but be ready. On the contrary, I had not encountered any problem during my stay in Barcelona. Perhaps the thing that I have worried most was crossing the street. It is not that the Barcelonans are reckless drivers; it is just the pedestrians who ignore the traffic signal. I could have seen the motorist threw up their hand in frustration when they had to stop for the pedestrians even though they had the green light. |
Talking about the Barcelonans, I had to admit i like them. They love to read. I have never seen in any cities that people walks, rides the metro with the book opening in their hands. The city public transportation system is superb. Buses and metro got me any places I wanted to go. In addition, the weather here is just like in North America, although it is a little bit cooler. Furthermore, the city is so lovely built, especially in the Eixample area. I just love those diagonal shape buildings and the graciously designed wrought iron balconies. Don't forget to stroll along the Passeig de Gracia. It is so enjoyable. Barcelona is truly one European city, and it is another favorite destination on my list.
