Sagrada Familia - Barcelona
Sagrada Familia
Barcelona

I absolutely adore this city. From it's landmarks to it's culture, from it's football to it's beaches, and from it's nightclubs to it's restaurants, I love almost everything about this place.

I first visited in December 2003 with my then girlfriend and sampled the more cultural side, but last year in November I went with a group of mates, and we had a whale of a time!

Barca!
Inside Camp Nou - Barcelona

Inside Camp Nou

What a formidable stadium is the Nou Camp! Never when I went there for the stadium tour two days from the end of our holiday in Dec '03 did I expect to see three huge matches there in the next 11 months!

Barca Vs Real
What an atmosphere! Let's just say Figo isn't too popular with the Barca fans. Real Madrid won 2-1 with goals from Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo. Kluivert got one back for Barcelona. What an experience.

Barca Vs AC Milan
A tremendous Champions League group clash between two of footballs biggest forces ended 2-1 to Barcelona! Shevchenko scored for Milan, Eto'o for Barca, before Ronaldinho got a dramatic late winner to the delight of the home crowd! We had top notch seats as well.

Barca Vs Deportivo
Another brilliant La Liga spectacle! 2-1 to Barca again.
