Geert's Place

Heya !

I just got back from a 4 day long city trip to Barcelona. I went with my best friends; for me it was the first time in Barcelona, even the first time I went to Spain.

Barcelona is a great city with lots of things to see, so I took over 200 pictures. I think everybody will know Sagrada Familia, the huge cathedral which is actually under construction for a VERY long time now, Gaudi’s art, Nou Camp, etc etc. Football seems to be a very important part of daily life there, I’ve seen many people walking around in a “Barca” footballshirt, and I don’t think they were all tourists ! We’ve been to the beach too for a couple of hours – not my favorite occupation I must say, but sometimes sacrifices must be made I guess. On top of that, I got burned instead of getting a bit of tan. So next time I guess I’ll think twice before doing that again 😀

The famous “magic fountain” near the Olympic village has made a big impression, it’s gigantic and during the summer there’s a light- and soundshow during the evening. Going for a walk there is highly recommended ! I’m not so sure you should try the local “cod in garlic sauce” though, because it will keep your stomach and bowels busy for the night 😉 I guess we’ll go back there someday, it was well worth a visit.
