Barcelona Birthday 2019 || Days 5 + 6

Wahoo! On to days 5 and 6 from my Barca adventures. 5 is brought to you by museums, a gorgeous cathedral, and… HUSKY CAFE! Basically it was an AirBNB experience where you go have tea and cookies with a few ladies who teach you about huskies/their home. And then you pet and hug and love on some huskies and feed them plenty of treatos.

Day 6 was more museums, and Montjuic! I was bummed I didn’t have time (aka daylight) to go explore the cemetery here, but I loved the castle and area so much that a few months later whenI jumped on the Animal Crossing bandwagon, I named my island after it :)

Barcelona Birthday 2019 || Days 3 + 4

WOW. That’s all I can say about Girona. It was absolutely stunning. They blended the very old, old, and slightly less old together so well in this town. AND!!! What a radical surprise for me to run into some very famous works of graffiti art! I had no idea until I was legit running a few miles carrying 30+ pounds of stuff to make it back to the tour bus LOL We also made it to Figures where Salvador Dali grew up, and checked out both his museums there. I was a little bummed they didn’t have the elephants painting, but I did see soooo much good stuff anyway.

The following day was just a day around town, checking out various. museums (amazing, again!! I got to see so many artists I have looked up to for almost my whole life), AND!!! going on a last-minute trip to Camp Nou to see FC Barcelona v. Madrid! It was my first pro futbol match and it was really fun! :)

XOXO, until part 3 for days 5+6, - A

Barcelona Birthday 2019 || Days 0 + 1 + 2

Sometimes, a girl just needs to run away. I had an extremely difficult year, and the last place I wanted to spend my birthday/holiday was home, likely alone. So! I flew across the world on a whim to go explore all the amazing things Barcelona has to offer :) I was blown away by how nice everyone is, the architecture, the food, EVERYTHING. I can’t wait to go back to Spain again someday; I wish I could move there! The weather was pretty mild for winter too, pretty similar to So Cal.

Up first for blog 1 (sorrynotsorry I took/culled/edited/chose way too many photos to fit in one blog): travel, Sagrada Familia, and my actual birthday along La Rambla. Met some pretty dope skaters from Germany (and peeped some others from inside a museum!), and treated myself to a nice little dinner. Enjoy the views!

xoxo, A
