MeEncanta Barcelona!!!!!Hola mis amigas.. i glad to announce that i have found my dream city... Barcelona has everything anyone would want in a city--shopping, beautiful beaches, mountains, shopping, great food, museums, music playing 24/7, fascinating culture and history, jaw-dropping works of architecture and --if u didn't catch it the first 2 times, yes-Shopping! I swear, everytime i lose my way and veer off onto some unknown street i somehow or rather find myself in a Zara or Mango.. and of course when did eventually find my way around the city i realised i perpetually had my jaw-hanging open, gasping in awe of works of Gaudi, a myraid of modernist buildings, the view of the mountians from the beach and the beach from the mountains...but walking in circles half the time meant that i only got to do like 60% of the recommended list, and even that gave me more than enough pictures to test the limits of my camera's memory... brace yourself for dazzling colors & intense imagery that is Barcelona!
day 1: Found my way to La Rambla at 5:30 even though i left the hostel at 3pm (and it's only 15 mins away)..i resisted entering the 1st Zara and mango i saw but with each passing store getting bigger and grander i couldn't help popping into a few stores..and pretty soon it was nightfall, La Rambla was well rumbling with life- an animal market, a flower district, a central market, a theater and the heaps and heaps of tourist shops- full of americans as usual... with the first english words i heard since my hostel reception being :"those are some FatAss chickens!!".. moving along..A stroll along la Rambla leads to the
and even there you'll find one of the largest shopping complexes in barcelonaMaremagnum.. i had little time to shop though..having signed up for tapas&flamenco night with the hostel!
