Barcelona
Honestly what can I say about Barcelona…
Here’s a quote from one of my idols who summed it up perfectly:
“A tourist to Europe hasn’t lived until they have visited Barcelona. The culture, the weather and the atmosphere is awesome.”
–Anthony Jocius
Honestly, if I can describe utter perfection, that was my time in Barcelona. The people, the food, the culture, the weather, and everything else was impossibly perfect.
We were able to stay with some family friends who lived right by La Sagrada Familia… Waking up and being in walking distance to the Barcelonetta, Parc Guell, Las Ramblas, and Port Olymic was incredible.
We were met with amazing weather and wonderful people. I was able to meet with friends who my family hadn’t seen in years and we were able to catch up and talk about Peru (which is where they were all from).
By day, my best friend and I explored and walked absolutely everywhere, and by night we explored the amazing Barcelona nightlife (which doesn’t start until 2am, which means it ends at 9am). It was intense haha.
The last day we spent the day at the beach, which was a nude beach. We were completely unaware we had stumbled upon one until we saw a man laying out in all of his pride and glory. It was a culture shock, to say the least.
But honestly, if there is any place I would recommend for anyone to go on their travels, it would be Barcelona.
I have held it dearly in my heart since the first time I went and the glory never died. This past time I went just emphasized my love for it even more.
Until next time my dear Barcelona
Love,
