Barcelona


Barcelona this past weekend was amazing. It is very different from Madrid, but you need more than 3 days for sure.

It is more spread out than Madrid, so the metro is INSANE. So many people are squished in it, and you have to travel quite awhile to get anywhere.

It was hot, and the people were crazy fun; bearing in mind that the people we met were mostly tourists due to the Sonar music festival, but we met SO many people from different places whether just for a 10 minute convo walking to the beach and back or drinking sangria before the club crawl at the hostel.

There is so much night life in Barcelona! We went to Shoko, Cat Walk, and the beach til the morning time both nights. Others went to Opium as well.

Everyone was there to have a good time:


We walked around las Ramblas, and we ate lunch there. It was very beautiful and difficult to describe. It's a street of shops and different architectural buildings. We went to the famous Market de San Joseph/La Boqueria, and it was INCREDIBLE: 10 times bigger than San Miguel's in Madrid. 

The beach was great, the water was cold, and the entertainment grand. 
The metro is open 24 hours on Saturdays - I WISH MADRID'S DID THE SAME!!!!

Barcelona has many stories, and we definitely made a ton! I have to return.
