School started and I'm back to being super busy again, ughhh. Also, I realized that I posted my pictures from Portugal, but never my pictures from Spain! I'm sorry, I just forgot I guess. Plus I had twice as many from Spain then I did from Portugal, so it took a lot of time uploading and editing them.

But without further adieu, I give you Barcelona!
(Warning: Lots of pictures under the cut!!)

There is a main street in Barcelona that is very well known because people go there and dress up as the craziest things for money. Some of the costumes are so outrageous that you can barley even tell that they are real people! They look like statues, but I assure you that they aren't.

We went to see a opera/flamenco one night which was really cool. We weren't aloud to take picture in there though so I only got to snap one real quick during the ending bow.

The music scene was so awesome in Barcelona. Everywhere you go there would be people just setting up their band on the side of the street and playing music. Huge crowds would then form and everybody would just start dancing right in the middle of the street! It was so cool and lively.

We went to see The Magic Fountain which Barcelona is also very well known for. It's a giant fountain that moves and changes colors to music.

The club scene in Barcelona was hot! Haha, I had so much fun going out at night over there, Portugal doesn't have much of a night life.

These where at the Gaudi park. I seriously fell in love with the architect Gaudi during my trip to Spain. He is remarkable, if you've never heard of him, look him up!

These are from La Sagrada Familia, which is probably like the symbol of Barcelona. It was also built by the architect Gaudi. It is a massive church that has been under construction in Spain since 1882 and is not expected to be complete until at least 2026.

These are from The Casa Bastillo, yet again by the architect Gaudi. This was probably one of my favorite places in Spain. It was a hotel and then later opened as a museum.

These are from Tibidago which is the highest point in all of spain, and at the top of the mountain there is a church and a giant jesus with his arms wide open. Below the church is a little vintage amusement park. You are able to climb all the way to jesus's feet.
