Barcelona

I have already talked about the
Barcelona team, but not about the city.Located in eastern
Spain,
Barcelona is my favorite city in the world. I spent only a day there, I went by train when I was in Paris, so I didn’t really get to know every aspect of the city, but it certainly stunned me enough so I still remember it as a perfect place. I’d rather go there again then visit many cities I don’t know. It has a “young environment”, I mean, mostly of the citizens are between 18 and 25 years old, so its a city that probably “never sleeps”. I’d really love to get to know the nightlife of the city…When I went there I visited the aquarium, a traditional spanish restaurant, the docks, and many other touristic points, like the Sagrada Familia (or Sacred Family Church), but I spent mostly of my time at the docks, simply because it is a quite “central” place of the city, everything is nearby.

Spanish people are very friendly (this probably seems a quite narcissistic thing to say since, as I’ve already told you, I’m half-Spanish, but it is still true ), and that is probably why that is my favorite place. You’d think “why
Barcelona, if all Spanish are friendly?”; well, I only visited
Barcelona, Valencia and
Madrid.
Madrid is the capital, so people are always stressed, what makes them less friendly;
Valencia is like
Florida in
Spain: I think the average age there is 75 years old, so people are a lot grumpier… And in
Barcelona, people are always relaxed, near the sea, everybody is young… Perfect place…

Everyone should go there at least once in their life, you certainly won’t regret it… You can take a”tour” at the city’s website.
