Barcelona


Lucky Nora was for the first time in her life in the beautiful city Barcelona. I went there for three whole days and was very impressed by the architecture of Antonio Gaudi and his amazing buildings all over the city. Also the street markeds, selling more or less whole cows in small peaces, the people, their humor and the whole atmsophere in the tiny streets with laundry hanging from every small balcony...it was great. I can only recommend everyone to take a trip there and explore the city. Our first experience of traditional spanish dinner was very special. After somehow useless catalan explanation of the menu, we ordered Paella Arroz Negro, which turned out to be a plate of black rice with seafood. The black colore was due to squid ink use in th receipe. Even though it looked somehow weird, it tasted great. The next evening we met Elvira, a friend of a friend, who took us for a traditional catalan Tapas dinner. She and 4 of her friends were very eager to give us the right impression of their traditional food and we had a great time together.
