5 Reasons To Drop EVERYTHING And Visit Barcelona Today

In This Article:

I recently spent my spring break in Barcelona and here are five reasons why your next trip has to be to Barcelona.

The food is phenomenal

Vibrant in both colors and favors, the food and beverages in Barcelona are something you never knew you needed in your life until now.

2. The views are stunning

Weather you're looking down at the Mediterranean from the cable cars or walking through Park Guell, the view from the ground and from above are stunning and I promise you, your breath will be taken away.

3.  The generous hospitality

Never have I ever been to a city where I have felt so welcome and loved. Spainards are the kindest people I have encountered on my trip across Europe and if you're from the mid-west, you'd love Barcelona for the people.

4.  The sun is always shining and the flowers are always blooming

Coming from cold and rainy London, Barcelona was a huge slap in the face with its warm weather and blooming flowers. Did I mention the variety of flowers and other plants in Barcelona? Everywhere you look, flowers are blooming. If you're a nature freak or strive for aesthetic Instagram photos, Barcelona and its gardens are for you!

5.  La Rambla

No matter what it is that you fancy- food, shopping, or sight seeing, La Rambla is for you. La Rambla is a mile long street market that is sure to have something for everyone. From food vendors to souvenirs, everyone will leave satisfied. Did I mention everything in La Rambla is stupid cheap? For 5 Euro you can eat a whole meal! If you go to the right place, of course.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
