Gaudi's sculptures at the rooftop of Casa Mila or La Pedrera. Barcelona, Spain.
I’ve decided to go to Spain because I thought this is the nearest gateway
to Morocco. I’ve jokingly told my friends that when I get to Spain, I’m going
to lash insults on our colonizers! But when I landed at Girona airport after an
hour’s plane ride from Rome, I deplaned with nary a foul word from my mouth, but
only with the song “A Whole New World” playing in my head!
But really, Barcelona is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city that has
changed from being a Roman territory hundreds of years ago to a modern city
that it is now, post-1992 Olympics. It is not exactly my favorite European city
as I’ve discovered that I’m not a fan of big cities. But for its artsy and
lively vibe, it’s a place worth coming back to, given the funds.
