Barcelona is beautiful. It’s everything I envisioned Spain to be: beautiful architecture, right on the Mediterranean Sea, delicious food, and tons of nice people. Of course, there were things that I didn’t expect, too: hardly any dirt roads, all of the signs are in Catalan and not Castilian Spanish (most people speak both), again everyone is very friendly (but they ALL smoke), there are millions of mopeds, and I don’t think I’ve met more than 3 or 4 Americans yet. Plus, this place is even crazier than Madrid at night. I’m not kidding when I say it has felt like Spring Break everyday here. I spent all that day walking around Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter with map-in-hand familiarizing myself with the area and asking tons of questions to all the shopkeepers I encountered. I even got a couple local newspapers and started my search for flats and jobs. I couldn’t believe that Bill Clinton took up about a quarter of every paper I saw!
