Barcelona, What a beautiful city!

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Steemit friends!
I am a Japanese traveler new to Steemit.
The travel in Barcelona in Spain was one of the best memories, so I wanna start my first Steemit post with this place!

The reason I wanted to visit Barcelona was because,
every friend, REALLY EVERY FRIEND who had visited there before told me it was fantastic!

All the preparation I need to do was just booking a hostel near the center!
(I like to stay at a shared room at a reasonable hostel, where you can meet new people and save money for foods:P)

The first thing to do was to eat REAL PAELLA!
I asked local people about which restaurant is a really good one and had these.

The size and the strong taste was really surprising.

For me, Spanish people seems a food-genius, really!

I still wonder how could just the pumpkin soup be so tasty.

I regret my past 23-years about why I haven't come up with the idea of putting chocolate on cold fresh mandarins!

I finally had a great encounter with almost 100%chocolate drink!
To drink this thick chocolate drink had been a big dream since I was little.
Japanese people had told me 100%like chocolate drink doesn't exist!
But now you know, it is everywhere in Spain!

And this restaurant was at a really cute street...
Uh, I realized I am just writing about food.
I am really a big eater so...!

I wanna change the topic to the beautiful architectures you MUST-SEE!

Casa Batlló made me surprised about how precise Antoni Gaudi calculated everything!
He is like a magician of light and designed the house, thinking about how the sunlight influences the beauty of this house.

Upper part of the wall is deeper color because when the sunlight comes
the part will get brighter than bottom,
so the total color of wall is balanced.

Casa Mila reminded me of Tokyo Disney Sea. (Little Mermaid Part)
It is funny that since Tokyo Disney Sea is designed based on many beautiful things all over the world,
I often feel like

"oh, have I come here before?!"

even when I get to new places.

I feel like Disney Sea showed me a little part of everywhere I would explore:)
and I really appreciate Walt Disney for giving me a little adventurous mind when I was a kid already.

Now I will introduce...

Sagrada Família!
It was just so outstanding.

I recommend to go there when there are less people (over 16:00?)

You will be amazed how light and color makes such a wonderful beautiful architecture,
at the same time you will respect and envy the genius, Antoni Gaudi.
To leave something appreciated after your life could be everybody's biggest wish, isn't it?

Of course, you will enjoy Gaudi Park also.
The beautiful blue sky accentuated the colorful monuments in the park.


Finally, I want to talk about Spanish food again!
TAPAS!TAPAS!TAPAS!

I would say they are SPANISH SUSHI;P
you would feel like you wanna try really everything! like when you eat Sushi.

I wanna thank for my travel buddy, who kept me laughing through this wonderful trip!


I hope you will like my other adventures!

Hi @florence. You are so right about Gaudi, he was a genius! I was taken to Barcelona when I was an 8-year-old boy and I remember being astounded by the architecture, it's like a dream world. I also remember being impressed by the Zoo there. Gr8 pictures, by the way, keep up the good work 👍

Yeah, his world is like a dream!
I wanna create beautiful art like he did someday.
