In the end of April to Wednesday the 7th, I went to Barcelona. It was longer than planed, but to be honest, I enjoyed every single day. My hostess, Aurora, was nearly perfect and very nice! We were also visiting the Costa Brava close to Barcelona (seperat story). In those days, I saw a very young, active and dynamic city and it is a must-be place to visit. I took hundreds of pictures, it was hard to pick out only some of them for the galleries and the blog.
Intro
After a small break, I continued my journey to Barcelona (E). Still in Vienna, I had to pack my backpack like this:

Barcelona is one of the best city I have ever seen. It is really diffecult to find something like it! The only thing I can tell you is: Go there & visit it. But I recommend you to go their in spring or fall, avoid the summer-time: It is too croweded and too hot!
