Spain

it’s very nice, and it was really hot when we went. we visited the park with all the architecture by gaudi and saw some other buildings he designed. barcelona is a pretty good place for people who like art, especially surrealism (dali museum). i also saw a lot of grafitti, but not just tagging like i usually see at home, there were lots of really cool things.

I suffered from food poisoning the night I flew into Spain, which probably resulted from bad plane food. Still, even when I recovered, I didn’t like the food any better.

Because of the food poisoning, I didn’t get to see really any of Barcelona… :(

I went there when I was in my 4th grade and the two things that really pop in my mind about being in Spain are:

1- My red school bag that I bought from there which I still have after more than 13 years now.

2- The roberry of some vedios from a department store – they were new released movies – funny thing at that time DVD’s were not around yet so the burglar had to steal vedios. And a lady with a red miniskirt from the department store was trying to retrieve back the vedios and pulling them from him. It ended up he running away with 2 or 3 vedios :)

I’ll be going to Spain on Saturday! Staying mostly in Barcelona and Madrid, though I’ll also be taking some side trips. I think we’re going to Toledo, Ibiza, and one other place. I’m excited :)

Spain is a big part of my country, the Philippines. spaniards colonized us for 333 years(am I right?). I just wanna experience if Spain is like our country and what they have given and adapted to us.;)

...be surprised.

If you love the art of Dali, you should visit The Dali Museum in Figueres. I think it took me about 1 and half hour by train from Barcelona.

I was born and raised in Spain. I live in the US but I go back every year or so. Great country to visit.

Lots of History and things to see. Very fun place to party also. Oh and Great food!

i went to barcelona last year. couple of good things and a couple of bad things: well, some of the bad things were girls not wearing their bikini tops at the beach, the stench of the sewage, and the graffiti. other than that, it was really enjoyable! i bought some cool things at the markets and visited some churches and La Sagrada Famillia was a brilliant place to see. i visited all the little villages and the old fashioned gothica buildings. it was very enjoyable.

Starting in June, I’m doing a study abroad program in Salamanca, Spain. I’m super-excited. Pictures and stories to follow.
