The year is 2022, the same year i made entry to Spain, i am 8 months in, but curious, with a burning desire to explore the country. Catluña, as they call it here, is a destination in everyone´s lips, i mean what is España without Cataluña? Ok, to put this into context and in a tourists language, Cataluña ( Catalonia in English) is the province that houses Barcelona, a world renowned destination. So there is this confrence that is coming up, and i have been invited, i have never been to this city before, but i am raring to go. So i begin making plans. I ask around for accommodation and check out transport prices. A friend, finally hooks me up with a friend who lives there, and accomodation is sorted! Next – how am i getting there? A train or a bus? Or even a flight, because why not! And i end up securing flight ticket, courtesy of a Chilean male human ( Keep it here for the story on how this male human bought me plane tickets and came back to haunt me about them). Anyway i get to Barcelona Airport, and honestly, it is exciting, despite the fact that i do not speak Catalan, my spanish( Castellana) is also still shaky. My confusion and ignorance is easily read by the Airport staff, who willingly help me get a bus ticket to the city centre – the famous Plaza de Cataluña and La Rambla! I feel excited and accomplished, i mean, i am in Barcelona! Me, in Barcelona? Increibe! as they would say in Spanish. I immediately start the City tour. Keep it here for the next post about my tour of the city!
