Impressions
by Rupanworld
My best trip so far has been to barcelona and I came back home very happy. Apart from the prized presence of Gaudi in every bit of the city, this is how I would sum up my impression about this magical city. Please look at the pictures for a better understanding

Sagrada Familia. Although this has not yet been finished it is absolutely breathtaking! Oh and all of the Gaudi stuff as well such as the many houses he built in the city and the Park Guell. The architecture is simply astounding. Barcelona is such a living and creatively city and this is the reason why i love it so much. Every aspect of its being exudes creativity, from the buildings to the clothes of the people and even to their attitudes. This is also the reason why i'm moving here.
Relaxed people
by Raimix
People from South Europe are always more relaxed than ones in North Europe. It seems in Catalonia as well – expression of emotions is higher, sometimes people simply don’t take too much stress about their lives – work, routine, time spending, time felling, and so on. It is, however, sometimes for North Europeans look like a not serious attitude of life. Seems here people just enjoy life, spend their leisure time, and not so stressed about being late at work ;)
Estadio Camp Nou
by IceBear7
Even if you're just a little bit interested in soccer than you should take the trip to the Nou Camp stadium and visit the museum of the FC Barcelona!
You see a lot of their cups and medals and photos of victory, history of the club (with all the sports they do, not only soccer but also basketball, rugby etc), the famous players, the boots and jersey of the legendary Bernd Schuster and Diego Maradona for example.
What I really liked was the old soccer memorabilia - an old ticket booth, the dressing room, a sports pub, old soccer magazines, board games, balls and other equipment etc.
The best of all is of course the view from the president's seat in the stadium. It is huge (I mean the stadium!) and has an exciting atmosphere even with nobody but a few visitors around. It gives you the shivers thinking about 100,000 supports singing and cheering and just 22 guys fighting on the pitch.
You get back to reality in the huge shop with everything from soccer boots, pens, cups, ashtrays, mouse pads and Barca crisps... Visit to the Museum is 5 Euro, you can do a guided tour with the dressing rooms, press room and a lot more for 10 Euro.

Estadio NOU CAMP, inside the stadium, if you are Barcelona football fans, then this is a paradise. No charges for entrance, just enjoy. At the main entrance you can see some big posters of legendary Barcelona players, one of them is Maradona.
