My love for
the city of Barcelona came along when I was in middle school, I was a huge F.C
Barcelona fan (still am) from then on I started
learning about the city and knew that not only I wanted to visit but live there
some day.
The things that attract me the most about Barcelona are the peoples
style, the awesome seafood and food in general, shopping and of course the fact
that F.C Barcelona is the home team. I’ve made a plan for myself so when I go
visit one day the top things I want to do when I get there are go to Barceloneta Beach
and walk on the board walk, Visit
La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell , climb up Montjuic and of course go visit Camp Nou
and if I get lucky enough to watch a home Barcelona game.
Barcelona
is the capital of Catalonia and is the second largest city of Spain. Located on
the Northeast coast facing the Mediterranean of course I would want to go the
beach while there. The beach that has caught my eye is Barceloneta Beach. The
best month out of the year temperature wise to go is in August the climate is perfect,
the only thing is that during the month of August is the season when tourists
from all over the world come so you can imagine how many people will be there. Walk
on the board walk enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach and vendors with souvenirs
to take back home. Also you can’t forget the amazing seafood restaurants.
Visit
the Sagrada familia an amazing church in the heart of Barcelona that was
designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi, the church is still incomplete. If you want more beautiful scenery places go
to Park Güell in the district of Barcelona
once you get to the top you see down on the city of Barcelona.
Last
but not least the place where I have been dying to go for years, Camp Nou. Camp
Nou is the home stadium of the world popular team Futbol Club Barcelona I have dreams of going and watch a classical game
of Barcelona Vs. Real Madrid one day. Even if you’re there in the season of “break”
(when the soccer league takes a break) you can still go and tour around the
stadium. The tour guides take you in onto the pitch and see what the players
see when its game day. You get a tour of the players dressing rooms, the pitch
and even where journalist/commenter’s sit when its game day. Walk onto that
soccer pitch and see the large logo “Mes Que Un Club” imprinted on the seats of
the stadium. Once you’re done touring inside the stadium they have a gift shop
where you can go and buy yourself some soccer gear, the day I go I’m buying
myself an original jersey so I can wear it with pride.
Even though I have never been to
Barcelona I have already fell in love with the European life style people have there. Just by
looking at pictures and hearing other peoples story of when they went makes me
more eager to go . When I go I know I will have amazing stories to tell about
the wonderful city. Barcelona is the perfect European city to go and fall in
love with. Safe to say I have been saving up my money to go soon and buy myself
many FCB gear.

I just visited Barcelona this summer, so remind me to talk to you after class about that amazing, wonderful, friendly, quirky, awesome, awe-inspiring city.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of information, and I assume it's from all those years of researching the city. But not everyone is familiar with Barcelona, so make sure to name a source in each paragraph where the information is not common knowledge. A good rule of thumb is to make sure to match each reference entry with usage in the paragraphs where you refer to that information (the in-text citation).
