Well, I guess if you were to look for a place that merges various aspects such as elegance, charm, taste as well as heart, then you could find that distinctive mix in only one place, and that is Barcelona. A city well-known for its exquisite architecture, and its infectious pride in art, culture, and politics, it once started as a roman colony at some point in time, and has thrived ever since throughout the course of history, now having its own language, and even a different flag than that of Spain. It all began at the Saint Jaume Square, the centre point of Barcelona with two iconic buildings, now known as the City Hall, and the Palau de la Generalitat. And from that particular spot, a new city was born.

Since I have mentioned architecture, it is of the utmost importance to mention the iconic name of one individual, and that shall be no one but the infamous Antoni Gaudi. He was known for his sophisticated, yet remarkable work. If you were to ever visit Barcelona, make sure to check the following infrastructures: Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà, Park Güell, and many more!

In addition to the infrastructure, walking in the streets of Barcelona is also considered to be a pleasant experience, with La Rambla being one of the top candidates, where tourists could do all sorts of things whether eating, shopping, having coffee and many more. And whenever you feel like you want to get away from the buildings and streets, then you could always head to my personal favourite part of the city, and that is the sea-side. A place where you could find the tranquillity and quiet as the waves hit the shores, and possibly enjoy some guitar music or some other instrument played by a random person. In case you choose to do so, then make sure to visit the Barceloneta Beach.

Aside from sight seeing, one should mention a very important thing, and that is food. I guess what makes eating in a typical local restaurant in Barcelona so peculiar is the fact that people on the same table share their plates together! To some this may sound odd or even unusual, but honestly it is one of the most satisfying feelings you could ever experience. It tends to bring people together, initiate conversation and have some sort of an intimacy with others, because in Barcelona they believe that the whole point of eating together is about the company, rather than the food itself. However, one can not deny that the food is absolutely delicious. So as you go into a local restaurant, make sure you order tapas and do not be worried about the small quantities as you will be ordering a lot and will be sharing everything with the rest of the people.

So to conclude, visiting Barcelona is a wonderful experience in all possible ways you could imagine; you should try it sometime. And make sure to remember two important phrases: "Visca Barcelona" and "Visca Catalonia"
