How lucky I am of living here!

Introduction

Barcelona's harbour
Barcelona is a massive exclamation if beauty, with admirable architecture and murals everywhere on the streets created by Gaudí, Miró and much others genious born in this amazing city.
The time is now for Barcelona. In the quarter-century since Spain has been freed from Franco's oppressive regime, Barcelona has led the autonomous region of Catalunya in a resurgence of a culture so esoteric and unique it is puzzling even to the rest of Spain.
The city growed and developed ina new modern tendancy while the olympic games took place in 1992, new flats and relaxing areas across the new until then non habited places.
Barcelona is the mixture of the classic and the modern, the gothic quartier which is totally my favorite area, all those tiny streets around the wondeful cathedral, where is fresh even in summer and you feel like getting lost in your own.

Barcelona is a gateway: the gateway to Catalunya, to Spain, to the Mediterranean, and to the Pyrenees.
Barcelona is definitely beuatiful, elegant and precious.
