Our last stretch in Spain is none other than the old capital Barcelona! In fact, Barcelona was our first thought of location when we started our planning!
This was all because of Sagrada Familia, because of how amazing the architecture is:) Indeed, it didnt disappoint! Sagrada Familia really wows us to the details! Every details are so on point! Even though there are 1001 tourists crowding the place, it did not stop us from taking cool photos and enjoying the piece of art:) A must go for people coming to BCN!
Overall, Barcelona is really lively and even though there are many tourists around (3rd most visited country), it did not dilute their culture at all! You can see breakdancers busking on the streets, skateboarding everywhere, hanging out with their partners(i think there are some trannies) and a lot of them are sprouting tattoos! The people in this city are really fashionistas and they dress really well, and are mostly quite toned as well!
Their street views are soooo vintage, the buildings are exactly like the ones drawn in looney tunes cartoon (tweety bird)! But their way of life is kinda chill, like you can see locals sitting outside bars as 3pm drinking away with their friends! On a contrary, their trains are super punctual, down to the seconds! Like seriously, but they cost like 1 euro(1.5 Sgd) per ride regardless of distance!
Other than the locals, we had opportunities to talk to many foreigners as well! There was a Hungarian girl who is doing her Masters in Denmark that we talked to. She recommended us to go to Cesky Krumlov in Czech, definitely something to Czech out😉 And we bumped into an Australian who married a SG wife and started a restaurant for 8 years in AMK, at the beach. I guess its really reassuring to hear from someone who is familiar with our red dot huh, makes us miss home hehe.
And in Mont Serrat, we had our first hike together! Up and down it was about 4.5 hours and the view is once again crazily good! I have to admit that I have a phobia of heights and I get jittery easy when I look down from a height but this hike was so worth all the jitters and risks taken! And of course, we had some nice couple shots as well haha! Recommend once again for people coming to BCN!
However, not all things went super well cause of minor hiccups here and there. The tapas restaurant everyone recommended was closed till 1st September and we only found out after taking the metro down and walking to the store itself. Luckily, we are flexible and we ended up settling at Burger King, and we even got a coupon that allowed us to buy 7.99 euro for 2 meals😍 Similarly, Sagrada Familia tickets to the inside was sold out and we didn’t buy online but we were physically there already. We immediately booked the earliest slot and made alternate plans to walk down Gaudi’s Avenue, discovering a nice bakery shop and an old couple walking two dogs:) Oh and if you ever have baggage you need to store, I would highly recommend LockersBarcelona for their services are really easy to use and the staffs are super helpful (They will refund you if you get the wrong size) Moral of these: always be prepared to make alternate plans and dont look back to regret. Keep loving forward and let the surprises drive your day well:)
Now Spain has come till an end but our adventures have not. Next time we come to Spain, it will definitely be better:) beginning to fall in love with it! For now, we will look forward to the romantic Italy and even more adventures to come:) dont worry, we will stay safe! Stay tuned!
