He perdut el meu cor a Barcelona

Hola guapa, que tal? 

..Is a nice way to be greeted at every little shop, grocery store or Restaurant.  The sun must definitely spending positive and motivating energy – at least in Catalunya’s wonderful capital. I was feeling a modern and fresh mentality all over Barcelona’s trendy and yet traditional alleys. A young spirit of warmth and hospitality fills the air of this beautiful city. Cultural richness influences daily life of the Catalans, wherever you go there is a wonderful cathedral, a modern sculpture or some meaningful and impressive graffiti. These vivifying artworks for the eye must inspire every creative being living in Barcelona or just passing it. Stories are told by the sounds of creative Musicians, while everyone is caught in the summery rhythm of “la vita tranquilla”. 

Metropolitan modernity and sustainable development complete Barca’s daily life in a pleasing way.  No other European major city outshines with such a stunningly beautiful beach-side. The clear blue sea must indeed balance stressful city life: everyone - regardless of age, nationality, skin color or bank balance – is listening to the wavy melodies of the sea, hears them on a daily basis and most importantly, enjoys them. Sitting at Barcelona's beach means feeling the touch of a warm and pleasant summer breeze until a salty but yet refreshing scent, reaches your nostrils; and when you open your eyes widely focusing on the line where blue water touches the horizon, you can somehow feel the limits of the human eyesight more consciously. 

Indeed, all senses are satisfied in the magical heart of Catalunya: Picasso’s and Gaudi’s artworks for the vision;  a musical experience of talented street musicians for the organ of hearing;  delicious, fresh and sun-ripened exotic food pleasing every gourmet’s gustatory nerves; the olfactory scent is enchanted by a mixture flowery odor and  fresh Mediterranean sea air; various materials, textures and surfaces surprise the Haptic perception: from fine-grained, hot sand to futuristic sculptures, from fresh sea water to fairy tale-like places made out of little mosaic flows. Satisfaction on every possible level, for soul body and mind – Oh Barcelona, you left my soul full of joy, my mind full of memories and my heart full of sunshine.
