|  | La Familia es Sagrada... I fell in love with Barcelona when I was supposed to be focusing on a business trip.
I brought my daughter here for her first birthday, and when the former President of Spain sat next to us over lunch and gave her a smile, I knew that something like fate had brought us here.
I keep coming back because it always feels as if I am coming home, but to a home that's better than one in any dream.
This city intoxicates you with its beauty, its bravado, its people, its light, space and its future. In the way the city has grown and evolved, and still continues evolving, it almost tangiblly reasserts values of family, love and goodness - it is a truly cultured city, as well as being vibrant and constantly surprising.
Barcelona is a quality of life that works...
I hope my small insights will help bring you to this city, or help you to enjoy this city. |
