Barcelona, Spain
When you think of Barcelona, what do you think of? Do you think of the warm weather in the cold months? Or do you think of the cheering fans at Camp Nou? Well, either one’s right. There are so many cool places that people have discovered, and Barcelona is one of them!
Barcelona is located in the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula facing the Mediterranean Sea. Barcelona is on the continent of Europe. The best way to get there is by plane. You can take a flight from Detroit to New York and a connecting flight from New York to Barcelona. It takes about 15 hours total.
The weather in Barcelona is really nice in the winter months with a high of 59 degrees F in March. But when summertime comes in, temperatures cool down with a high of 84.2 degrees F in July. Any time of year, I would pack shorts and a t-shirt and a light jacket.
The first site I would visit would be Camp Nou. This fabulous soccer stadium is FC (Football Club) Barcelona’s home stadium. It is so big that it seats 99,786 people.
The second place I would visit would be Las Ramblas. Las Ramblas is Barcelona’s most famous street. You can see street performers and interesting architecture.
The third place I would visit would be Sagrada Familia. This is a giant temple designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudi. Construction started in 1882 and will not be complete for another 30 to 80 years.
Barcelona has a population of 1,621,537. It is the second largest city in Spain. The city is known for hosting the 1992 Summer Olymipcs. Barcelona speaks a mix of languages. One is Spanish and the other is Catalan.
On interesting fact is that Barcelona is known for having some of the worst drivers in the world. In fact, they have many pedestrian walking areas, because it is safer to walk than to drive.
As you can see, there is a lot to discover about Barcelona. You can discover anything from the Old Sagrada, to Camp Nou. There is so much to learn, so visit Barcelona.
