As the name of my blog says - all dreams come true - so in the beginning of March I made my biggest dream in the sphere of traveling come true. I visited the city I am in love with for more than seven years - picturesque, breathtaking, bright and colourful Barcelona. I went there alone and because of it was a bit scared before my trip, but in the long run everything turned out well and the only negative thing of travelling alone was that 90% of my photos are selfies. At the same time I planned everything really thoroughly, and had managed to visit all but one places from my "Must see" list. So here is a bit more details and some photos of my trip. Day 1.First day, or, to be precise, half a day was an orienting one. That moment when you intentionally go not in the right direction from the airport because there palms outside and you want to see them. That moment, when together with pigeons there are a lot of parrots in the streets. That moment when you go round the metro station and can't find the right way to go to your hostel. That moment when you've booked a bed in 12-people room without breakfast, but you are settled in 6-people room with breakfst. That moment when you see the thing that 7 years ago made you fall in love with Barcelona - the great Sagrada Familia. Day 2.I started second day from visiting a famous food market La Boqueria. It's a place, where all your sences are happy - it's bright and colourful, it smells thousand smells, it sounds hundreds languages. It tastes perfect! ♥♥♥ Then I went to my main destination Mount Tibidabo. On my way there I met a nice Spanish woman who grew up in Barcelona, but now lives in Portugal. Though at that day she came to visit her parents and the places she likes most in the city. So together we spend a couple of hours in a cosy cafe with a perfect view on Barcelona. After finishing my mojito I took the funicular and went higher to the Mount. There is an adorable amusement park there and a majestic cathedral. Despite of my ligh fear of hight and strong fear of spiral staircase I went to the very top of it and enjoyed the breathtaking view on the city being 560 m above the sea level. In the evening I wondered along the streets and observed two more Gaudi's creations - Casa Batlo and La Pedreira. I felt so happy!!!!♥♥♥ Day 3.The third day in Barcelona was rich with the following moments: - Mediterranean Sea. It was cold and almost raining outside, the water was really ice cold but I couldn't resist the desire to walk in water a bit :) - the first Paella in my life in a local cafe where the menu on the wall was written in UKRAINIAN!!! - Park Guel - a place that astonishes you with the unbelievable workd of Antonio Gaudi - Magical Fountain of Montjuik - light and music show, hundreds of tourists and great mood Day 4.The last day, or a half of it, was pretty hectic, as I needed to go to the airport, but wanted to visit the Gothic Quarter before. But I've managed to do it and enjoyed the view of Barcelona Cathedral. So I left the city being even more in love with it and with the strong desire to come back!
