Falling in Love With Barcelona

Welcome to Barcelona. A city renowned for its iconic architecture. World famous soccer teams. Sun kissed beaches. Did you know it is also the birthplace of one of my favorite clothing stores

This is the fourth video in my Europe series. The last one was all about the French countryside. Specifically the Baj wine region. Feel free to check it out if you have not already

First Impressions

Good morning from Barcelona. This place is amazing. People here are outgoing and very sweet. Yesterday we had a nine hour drive from France to get here

Today we have a free day. I decide to go out on my own. I want to try more solo travel. I did it in London and love it. I was scared at first. I thought I would get lost or not know where want to go. It turned out to be the best thing I did. Now I want to do it again and again

I do not want to rely on anyone right now. I want to take my time. I want to do things on my own terms

A Morning in the City

I found a vegan cafe. I had avocado toast. Tofu scramble. Iced coffee. A croissant. I did not get to try one in Paris so I was glad to have one here. They use olive oil instead of butter. It works perfectly for me

Next I am going to Park Guell. It is a twenty minute walk. The weather is thirty four degrees. I love it. Every corner here is beautiful. Every balcony is unique.

I found a sip and paint place. I do not have time for it this trip. I saw another vegan restaurant. Amazing

Solo Travel Tip

When you travel alone it can be hard to capture the moment. I either use a self timer or ask someone who looks reliable to take the photo.

Meeting Uma

I met Uma. She is also a solo traveler. We planned to visit Park Guell together but the tickets were sold out

It is hot today. I am going to Zara to pick up something for the flamenco show tonight. Uma is going to the beach. She is from Copenhagen. She decided on this trip very spontaneously. Six days in Barcelona

There is no Apple Pay here. Bring cash

Zara Beaches and a Flamenco Night

Zara is amazing here. It was founded in Spain so shopping feels special. I bought a dress

Then I went to Barcelona Beach. I only had forty minutes. I swam for ten. Then I rushed back to get ready for the flamenco show. I put a flower in my hair.

Barcelona is stealing my heart. It is beautiful. The people are lovely

Sangria and Shared Laughter

I tried sangria for the first time. It was a bit strong but had a sweet hint of fruit. We made up our own cheers word and shared it with others

The night ended with flamenco dancing. Live music. Applause filled the room

Closing Thoughts

Barcelona is a city of colors. A city of flavors. A city of rhythm. From vegan cafes to spontaneous friendships. From beach swims to flamenco nights. It invites you to slow down and enjoy every moment

I only had one day here but I made the most of it. I will be back
