on the go: BARCELONA
My first drink at dinner was obviously a glass of cava. It was roughly 9PM on a Wednesday night. As I sat in a typical Spanish style restaurant observing the surroundings, my senses couldn't help but be overwhelmed with reminiscent memories. My ears heard that all too familiar, yet foreign language that I haven't heard for months. My nose picked up the variety of tapas being passed around from person to person. And my eyes, the biggest sense of all for me, could not help but stare at all the wonderful things that were happening around me. It's an understatement to say that I am the total ultimate fangirl of easygoing Barcelona. However, this love affair is nothing new. It began approximately one year ago, after a mauve nail polish color, 'Barefoot in Barcelona,' influenced a last minute trip with my sister and current boyfriend.
Now spring has rolled around again and given me the opportunity to go back into the Eixample district of BCN for the second year in a row. I think I should start to make it a tradition because Barcelona is great in the middle of the year. It's not too cold and the streets are filled with people and so much energy. There's always tapas, motorbikes galore, and an array of architectural gems. If you time it right, you may even be able to experience Sant Jordi Day. And if you miss that, well, there's plenty of other things going on!
Barcelona is like New York, in the way that it's impossible to do everything in one trip. Even after my second trip, I haven't been able to see it all. With each visit, I find myself wanting to know more about the customs and secrets of this city. I'm still not even sure if I should be translating my English into Catalan or Spanish. All signs point to Catalan, but I'm still trying to make it easier on myself!
