Beach Day in Barcelona

The best way to enjoy a sunny hot day in Barcelona is going to the beach. After knowing Barcelona has sand on their beaches compared to the rocks on the beaches in Nice, France I was excited to relax on the warm soft sand. A lot of people were out enjoying the weather and the cool blue waters. Although I do not know how to swim, I still got in the water. The waves were refreshing which kept me cool from the hot sun. I had no worries in the world because being in Barcelona felt like paradise. After spending hours at the beach my friend Sophia and I headed off to a restaurant our tour guide recommended called El Rey de Gama. This restaurant is known for their famous paella (rice mixed with meats) menu filled either with seafood, chicken, vegetarian, or other various meats. Usually when people recommend a place to eat I always question if it worth the cost? After eating here I must say our tour guide knew the right places to eat where you get your money worth. We were very full after eating at this delicious restaurant. Shortly afterwards we walked around the city to enjoy our last day in the lovely city of Barcelona. I had so much fun here and I would love to come back again to see if this city could be my future home? Later that night we went back to our hostel to pack up for our next trip to Madrid, Spain. So stay tuned on our next adventure, catch you soon! Cheers, Lee IV

Hola Barcelona

Hola mates, if you are ever looking for a place that is filled with amazing tapas, delicious sangria, and unique culture then I recommend coming to Barcelona, Spain. As we arrived in Barcelona I was not sure what to expect, but within minutes walking from the train station to our hostel I quickly realized Spain is my new favorite country. The streets were lively, filled with unique art buildings, and had night life that I loved to see. Of course the one way I like to learn about a new city is by finding a walking tour. Our hostel Equity Point was located in the heart of Barcelona, and they even offered a free walking tour. Our tour guide was funny, down to earth, and he taught us the rich history of Barcelona. Throughout the tour we learned the people of Barcelona like to keep their historical buildings. Therefore the modern buildings are built above the old building or are preserving to show people the rich history of Barcelona. Walking around, I said to my friend Sophia that I could see myself living here in Spain. After the walking tour we got some lunch where our tour guide recommended. Surely enough, his pick was an excellent choice because the food was one of the best lunch meals I had thus far. Since this restaurant has culinary students learning how to become chefs the menu prices are cheap. For 10 Euros my meal included red wine, gazpacho (cold vegetable soup), turkey breast with vegetables, bread, and an elegant dessert. Now you can see why I believe this was the best lunch I had thus far, and the flavors were amazing. Afterwards we went on another walking tour about the famous architecture Gaudi. If you never heard of this person I recommend you look him up, and when you walk around the city you cannot miss his unique building structures. Once the tour was finished we decided to go on a pub crawl to check out the night life in Barcelona. Pub crawls are a great way to meet new people, check out the local fun, and try out the local drinks. We had a great time meeting people and experience the night life. Like always all good things must come to an end, but no worries because tomorrow we plan going to the beach. So get your swim gear ready because it is going to be a wonderful day at the beach.

Cheers,
