Barcelona


It's a grand and beautiful Catalonia's autonomous government who speak Catalans, which is different from Spanish, and they are very proud to be Catalans.
In 1859 they pulled down the medieval walls and built a new geometrical city, designed by Art Nouveau architect, Antoni Gaudi.
It's flanked by Montjuic Hill to the south and to the north there beautiful beaches like Costa Brava and Costa Dorada. Take an evening stroll at La Ramblas and sit on a cafe taste 'sangria' a blend of ginger ale, vodca, fruit juices and a lot more. Enjoy one of the most beautiful street in the world, where, crowds,flowers, cafes, pickpockets, pantomim players, magicians, one ring circus, tourists from allover the world, are here mixed up, just beside The Columbus Monument.



Visit the Antoni Gaudi's unfinished temple de la Sagrada Familia. The construction of this flamboyant and colorful temple began in 1882, and still unfinished now. It looks like a temple, or perhaps cathedral, or even a complicated Gothic Style building .'Stoner Paradise' is the other name of Barcelona since you might have and consume hashish less than 2 ons freely.
Adios amigo !
