Me encanta Barcelona!

I can't even describe how beautiful Barcelona was! It was a gorgeous mixture of wooded parks, rolling hills, breath-taking architecture, and a great beach. We stayed in an awesome hostel which used to be a castle, so even the architecture of that was amazing.

We saw soooo many museums- 5 in one day! Gaudi, City of Barcelona, Picasso, Chocolate (which had amazing scultpures), and walked into one of Gaudi's creations, the Pedrera. The Pedrera looked like a cave with crazy rock scultpures on the roof. It was pretty much what I'd want my house to look like!

Lucky for us, we were in Barcelona when Spain won the Euro cup! Unfortunately, Barcelona is not as patriotic as the rest of Spain, so we were not trampled on the streets and cars were not turned over. There was just some yelling and people dancing on their balconies...


Evalutations
food: good gnocchi ***
coffee: from hotel machine **
beer: had some canned beer on the beach :) ***
bikes: it might be too hilly for that
language hilarity: frustrating cuz it was Catalonian and not Spanish... so slightly different **
return? I really hope so!
