... boom – boom’ of salutes being shot. The sounds only lasted for 15 minutes or so. I assumed it was fireworks, or how Spaniards call it ‘los fuegos artificiales’ or ‘pirotecnica’ The next day I went exploring, calling friends about the schedule and location of the fireworks. I found out that they were being displayed at Barceloneta and Plaza España. I decided to check out the closing night firework display at Plaza España ...

I took a trip with some friends to Barcelona for a four-day weekend in January. There were three of us in my traveling party, two people from my group Cindy and Dan and then myself.

My favorite thing there was probably the Basilique du Sacré Coeur, it overlooks the whole city and we hung out on the steps there one evening. After Paris we were off to San Sebastian, Spain (Basque country). This place was awesome. There was a beach (with good ...
