My trip to Barcelona


So, a couple of weeks ago I went to Barcelona on a school trip. We went for a week and stayed in a host family which was a great experience. The week was full of laughs, lessons, good food and loving the Barcelona metro!

The whole trip was an experience. From finding our bearings on the first day (i.e. looking for the metro station) to exploring the city near the end, it was a blast. We visited lots of amazing things, like the Sagrada Familia, the beach, the Gothic City, Placa de Torres, the Ramblas and seeing the festival on Good Friday. It was brilliant.


 This is the famous Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi. If you zoom in, you can see the detail which is breath taking. The most amazing thing that it still isn't finished even after Gaudi's death in 1926!


Chocolate con churros is an amazing Catalonian delicacy. Basically, it is pastry with sugar dipped in a thick and creamy hot chocolate. Es delicosa!


The beach was beautiful, especially in the sun!


Here is a picture from a market stall! As you can see there were lots to choose from!



This was the MNAC, an art museum with amazing art, but I don't think it beat the building!


Here is the view from the top, the whole of Barcelona!



Here is a horse that was on show before the Good Friday Processions. (I love horses too much not to take picture of them)


And here is all the food I bought back (I spent all my money on food...)

As you can see from the selected pictures above, Barcelona is an awesome place! If there is one thing that you can take away is that this city should be added to your Bucket List of places to visit!

Much love!
