Spring Break Part 2: Barcelona
Immediately when we walked out of the train station, we knew that spring break was here. The weather felt like Los Angeles, the cultural was that of Santa Monica. People were skateboarding along the beach. Barcelona felt like a city halfway between Los Angeles and Europe. The scale of the streets is designed for massive pedestrian use and it actually is used the way it is intended. Gaudi Architecture is everywhere, and I can't equate an architect's impact on a city similar to Gaudi's. A truly remarkable city.
