Torres Girona

... this period of year there are mostly aged people resting there, however I noticed there a lot of clubs near the beaches, so I consider that in summer this town is full of students. The beaches are sandy and what is important all those beaches are public. And one more thing - there are NO PRIVATE BEACHES in Lloret de Mar!

... que je n'ai pu manger et que j'ai rapportées à l'hôtel). Après ce repas, nous avons parlé au chef qui nous a fait faire le tour de la cuisine et autographié mon menu souvenir. Au moment de quitter (il était environ 16h30), nous avons dit au chef: "Salvador Dali peut attendre, cette journée est complète". Il a ri. Figueres, ce sera pour une prochaine fois. Nous sommes retournés en train à Barcelone. Jacques a fait sa deuxième sieste de la ...

We travelled up the coast on a Renfe train, It took us about 4 hours. We were running 1 hour late. But that was OK, I got to watch more of 'Over the Hedge' in Spanish, I had no idea of what they were saying, but it was still funny. Barcelona was really touristy, there was heaps to do there. We caught a tourist bus for a day so we could see all the attraction like Gaudi park, Nou Camp (for AC), Olympic park, and a view over Barcelona.

From Nice, I took the train to Barcelona, so I´m back in Spain, the country I started in, and I´m getting close to the end. Barcelona was okay at best...definitely not the best place I´ve been. It´s really just another big city. I´m definitely finding that I like the smaller towns better, as they are less crowded and people are generally happier to see you. Like most big cities I´ve been to, Barcelona has it´s main street where ...

Hola, We have been practicing our Spanish, Jake is getting really good, however it doesn't help us all that much here in Barcelona AKA Catalunya because they have their own dialect, which appears to be an mix of Spanish and french wee wee!!! Luckily for us the majority of the population speaks Spanish, Catalunya and English!! The population seems to speak more English than Madrid did, they also appear ...

... historic town, split by a river. tucked behind a high mountain, we thought we´d never lay eyes on it. because of its´tuck behind the mountain, the temperature dropped sevërely. we found a nice campspot over a bridge, along the river, behind a fence, and behind a hospitaloe helicopter landing pad. no emergencies in the middle of the night though- so no helicopter action. in the morning, the sounds of a hot air baloon overhead woke us up. it was lovely. the tent was frozen and frosty.

... It made me miss cooking with my roommate Ann Marie. She taught me two of my favorite Japanese dishes... We then decided to make our way over to La Sagrada Familia. This is basically a 120 year old construction site. It was impressive and I guess I am glad I saw what we did now, instead of say 60 years ago, when it was still just a pile of rubble, but come on. In this day and age why is it taking so long to build a church? It is massive and extremely ...

So the other day, apparently we were feeling brave, we decided to try out the metros. Basically you can get anywhere you want all over barcelona for really cheap. We bought a ten ride pass for 6 euros! anyways, we decided that we'd try to get to sagrada familia by Antoni Gaudi. With our maps in hand, we hit the road. Took a few trams to get there, but crazily enough, didn't get lost going there, and ended up right next to sagrada. we walked out of the metro and ...

Escribo desde este crazy hostel, desde el bar/internet/restaurant/circo que es este ambiente con mesa de pool, mesas de comer y de tomar y mucho turista joven borracho, unos aca al lado entonan cantos desconocidos en idiomas que no entiendo, mientras otros hacen la vertical por varios minutos y piruetas dignas de bailarines negros, pero creo que son franceses, lo que hacen un par de cervezas... Como nuesta habitacion de 8 camitas esta ocupada ...

Barcelona is probably my favorite European city from my trip. While other cities have better museums or even prettier people. Barcelona has a bit of it all. The Gaudi architecture is something I fell in love with immediately, then of course there's the paella, the sangria, Las Ramblas and the whole feel of the city. The Catalan people really know how to make the most of afternoon siesta. It's ...
