About Me

- Ya saben mi nombre, my major: architecture, current address: BARCELONA! What is there to say other than how extremely lucky I am to be in such a city. No solo es mi primera vez en este pais, pero el simplemente estar aqui lo hace a todo mindblowing. Es un poco tonto el estar pensando en cosas de esta manera, pero al menos en mi caso, si no fuera por 'Espania' yo no existiria... mi islita, mi familia serian algo como un mito... un pensamiento mas en la mente de Dios. I just thought about that! That's my 'linkage' to this country! C'est la vie!!!
A bit of moi...
Reading Barcelona
Every city possesses its own characteristics, elements that differentiate it from the rest that surround it; of this, the city of Barcelona is a true example. Contrary to cities such as Paris or Rome, this is one in which while walking through the streets, from block to block, one receives the impression of being inside a 'time machine'.
Barcelona is a place where history has been marked within each one of the sectors it is divided in: Ciutat Vella, Gracia, L'Eixample, 22@, Vila Olimpic... the occasional unnoticeable transition from each of these, from one region to another is what makes this city so great. Once a highly oppressed city and culture by means of the country's main government, nowadays it has become one of the most influential cities in the world; one of the most dynamic and attractive cities in Europe.
Below, is a sample of our trajectory through the city's main sectors... hope you enjoy them as much as I did ;)
