Ah, Barcelona....

by m-gem - last update: May 19, 2005

I've been to Barcelona twice now. The first time was for a week in 2002, the second for 4 days in April 2005. The second trip was a birthday gift from my boyfriend cuz we both loved the city so much the first time. I don't know what it is about the city, but you can just feel the atmosphere, embedded with a Mediterranean love of good food and drink and taking time to enjoy life. People are out everywhere to have lunch, have a chat, walk the dog... Sure, their almost constant sunny weather helps, but it's like they can still soak it up even though they've lived in it their whole lives.

Pros:"Small enough to walk around easily, or use the excellent Metro; the food, the sun, the sangria, the people"
Cons:"Bit overrun with tourists, the smog when it's warm for awhile"
In A Nutshell:"Just go, and enjoy"
