On this particular weekend, a group of about 7 of us took a trip to Barcelona! We had a wonderful time, and saw SO MUCH. Barcelona managed to win the #2 spot on Jennifer's List of Favorite Travel Experiences, version 2008. The weather was turning from summer to fall and so it was actually quite cool for the majority of the long weekend. The feel of the city was incredible - the perfect combination of Paris, Spain and (though I've never actually been there, my friend Simon confirmed this) New York City. Barcelona was so beautiful, with so many incredible things to see, that Simon and I ended up walking upwards of ten miles a day in an attempt to experience as much as we could. The sore feet were more than worth it.
There were some incredible outdoor markets in Barcelona! Everything looked incredible and delicious... except for things like this.
Las Ramblas, one of the major streets in Barcelona, was filled with people, shops, restaurants and street performers! Most of the performers were pretty good, too.
Just one of the many beautiful museums that the city plays host to.... We actually ate lunch on the top of those stairs, looking out over the city.
We went to Park Guell! Gaudi was a crazy, incredible genius, and we had a great time exploring his creations. It was almost like being Alice in Wonderland.
