The people, the food, the culture, the weather, and everything else was impossibly perfect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We were able to stay with some family friends who lived right by La Sagrada Familia&#8230; \u00a0Waking up and being in walking distance to the Barcelonetta, Parc Guell, Las Ramblas, and Port Olymic was incredible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We were met with amazing weather and wonderful people. I was able to meet with friends who my family hadn&#8217;t seen in years and we were able to catch up and talk about Peru (which is where they were all from).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">By day, my best friend and I explored and walked absolutely everywhere, and by night we explored the amazing Barcelona nightlife (which doesn&#8217;t start until 2am, which means it ends at 9am). It was intense haha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">But honestly, if there is any place I would recommend for anyone to go on their travels, it would be Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Until next time my dear Barcelona<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Love,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">B<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6026 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6027'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1498049_10152275745998643_673189867_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6028'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1912408_10152259870458643_1003859800_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6029'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1965663_10152275745993643_1622764405_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6030'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1970616_10152256925463643_1427028026_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6031'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1974251_10152275745718643_33072668_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6032'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1980263_10152259872458643_1369534276_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/?attachment_id=6033'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.luc.edu\/goglobal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/10015007_10152259869283643_1505000463_o-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honestly what can I say about Barcelona&#8230; Here&#8217;s a quote from one of my idols who summed it up perfectly: &#8220;A tourist to Europe hasn&#8217;t lived until they have visited Barcelona.
