Barcelona: the City of HEAT!

Hace calor! (It's hot!)
Now I know why Spaniards love siestas... it's impossible to function when it's this hot!
I've really enjoyed the past week here - I've seen Gaudi's temple, Tibidabo, and of course I've spent plenty of time on the sandy white beach. Mhmm the water here is so clear and cold it's like somgthing out of a movie. The thing I love most about visiting is that I'm actually living here for a week, not just seeing the city through tourist's eyes. I get to enjoy the perspective of a native and am more safe than the average tourist.
I've even went exploring a day by myself!

In comparison to Paris I would say Barcelona is a different kind of beautiful. Paris is a passionate, sophisticated and romantic place while Barcelona is sandwiched between the Mediteranian Sea and Tibidabo mountains. It oozes fun and sun and is much more colorful in culture.

I owe so much to the Tarnawski family for housing me for an entire week and showing me their lively city!
