Tourist at HOME

The "hometourist"

As in my other 3 homes (Puerto Rico, Minnesota, Chicago), I am still a tourist here after 5 years. Unbelievable? You won´t think so after visiting this great city.
When my family and friends ask me which city in the states compares to Barcelona, I always say Chicago, but with a huge difference, or actually, SEVERAL: Temperatures are a lot more stable, never going below 0ºC or above 40ºC. The is a beautiful ocean close to everywhere you go. But the most impressive difference is all the history inside of Barcelona. Everywhere you go, there is a story behind that place.
There is always something to do for everyone, no matter what your preferences are.
I am still learning about my home, but I am glad to share what I know and what I learn everyday!

Barcelona at Night; Roman undergrounds

Hello friends!
Last night I had a great "adventure" in Barcelona. Javier & I took a tour of the "Roman underground Barcelona"! Yes! There is a whole city underground, and you can now visit it. It is at the History Museum of Barcelona. Guided tours at night, (9 pm) but only in Spanish and Catalan. But you may try to get one in another language. It costs 9 euros, which includes a guided tour and a pastry and drink at the end. It lasts about 1 hour and a half. I enjoyed it a lot!
There is still a lot of the Roman roots left in the City and surroundings. You should not miss them, especially if you are a ·History and/or architecture nut"

Pros:"Ocean and mountains, histiry, art, fun; all in one place."
Cons:"Catalan is the main language and can be a bit confusinmg"
In A Nutshell:""All in one place""
