My Personal Barcelona
After taking the night bus from Madrid, I finally arrived in Barcelona around 6am. The bus ride was decent and luckily, there were no snoring people on the bus! I walked to the Metro station and caught the car going to Verdaguer, which is the nearest stop to where I was booked at one of the Barcelona boutique hotels. I was greeted very warmly by the staff, which made me feel very welcomed and loved.
After I took a small nap, I rented a bike and went on a ride to the park that was near the Arc de Triumph. I feel bike riding is a good way to catch the atmosphere of the city. Barcelona is amazing. Later that night, I went to a concert being held in the streets, it was a Swedish band, the same band that did a beer commercial for Barcelona. I could barely move, the street was packed with kids, teenagers and their respective parents. After the concert, I heard about a place in Barcelona that has a spectacular view. It was stunning!
The next morning, I woke up a little later than I wanted to, but that didn’t stop me from walking around the city of Barcelona, while on my bike yesterday, I was many places I could just walk to. I walked the La Ramba, through very narrow streets. La Ramba was full of people. Tourists and locals alike, it was a really happening place. Then I walked the Board Walk to the beach and I walked to whole length. I just love Barcelona! Especially all the Gaudi architecture, it’s everywhere. I still wasn’t tired, so I went to the Square (can’t remember the name) and there were people building human castles! Crazy! Little children would climb to the top and over and then climb back down. I would be so afraid, but these children, about 5 to 6 years of age had no inhibitions.
Later that night, I went out to dinner, I ate at the Espanya Square and I’m glad I was sitting outside, because there were fireworks! I didn’t know the occasions, but then I didn’t really care, I pretended they were for me, it was Barcelona’s way of saying ‘Thanks’ for visiting us, come back for more.
