Personal Narrative: A Trip To Barcelona
A Trip To Barcelona
I have chosen Barcelona for my Spanish holiday because I have a great interest in soccer, formula 1 and relaxing in the sun. Barcelona to me ticks all those boxes. It is located in the north east of Spain in the regain of Catalonia along the cost of the Mediterranean Sea. With a total of 1,621,537 inhabitants in this 101.9km2 city you can be sure that the night life will not cease to amaze. Barcelona is not just about sports and sun. It is also home to many museums and countless breath taking monuments.

I found a nice looking restaurant called “Agust” being beside the sea I hope to try many of its seafood dishes and perhaps try something new and try “pulpo a la gallega” a dish that contain octopus. Unlike Ireland, Spanish people have their diner at a later time usually around 9:30. Because of this later diner I think I might snack on some tapas throughout the day to last me until dinner. Tapis is a mixture of many varying appetizers like olives, cheese, hot and cold meat etc.
Day 5:
You can go to Barcelona any not enjoy one of its many beaches. From what I have read I have decided I will relax on the 1100 meter long Barceloneta Beach and try may hand at some of the activates it has to offer like beach tennis, volleyball and jet skiing. While on the beach it would be a shame to miss one of Barcelona’s booze cruises and test out another one of Barcelona’s many nightclubs. Day 6:
I would like to embrace myself in the Spanish culture a bit more and think it would be fun to attend a flamenco concert. I found information about one that is healed in Torres Cordobesin not far from my apartment. I have never experienced or heard anything about a flamenco concert so it should be interesting and hopefully give me a better feeling
