Gaudí, fascinating architecture, and of course, tapas.
Barcelona, just the word itself invokes the wildest parts of your imagination. Typically when we travel, we all get wrapped up in whatever city’s magic we are visiting; whether it is Rome, Paris, Tokyo, or the tiny islands of the Pacific. Barcelona, however, just hits you differently, it feels alive – living, breathing, pulsating with every step you take down it storied streets. It’s not just the people or the culture that makes the city feel so vibrant, rather it is the architecture.
Every line, brick, decoration, makes its buildings look like living creatures, watching you with vivid interest. The buildings are exactly what gives life to Barcelona, a cosmopolitan wonder on Spain’s most beautiful coast. These photos will make you not just want to visit, but also sit on a street side tables, sipping vermouth, eating tapas, and watching the city breath like a sleeping lion.
