In the end of April to Wednesday the 7th, I went to Barcelona. It was longer than planed, but to be honest, I enjoyed every single day. My hostess, Aurora, was nearly perfect and very nice! We were also visiting the Costa Brava close to Barcelona (seperat story). In those days, I saw a very young, active and dynamic city and it is a must-be place to visit. I took hundreds of pictures, it was hard to pick out only some of them for the galleries and the blog.
Intro

Just arcs

Hanging around in Barcelona
Again hanging around
Barcelona is one of the best city I have ever seen. It is really diffecult to find something like it! The only thing I can tell you is: Go there & visit it. But I recommend you to go their in spring or fall, avoid the summer-time: It is too croweded and too hot!
