Lions,Crazy Taxi Driver, Beach, Life...That's Barcelona.

Hola, Que esta?
 I told you Spain would love me :) And I loved it back. Barcelona was amazing, slightly different from Madrid but nevertheless magical..I was thinking of writing a brief summary of my vacation but after coming back I think I would need to write a blog on Barcelona itself..
We took a road trip, drove 1200 Kilometers, through France till we hit the amazing soil of Barcelona.
When we arrived in Barcelona, it was 4am and it was..Thursday to be exact but I swear to god it seemed like there was a big party and the entire Barcelona was invited..I couldn't believe it was a weekday and people were partying on the streets of Barcelona..and of course police running around breaking up fights.lol. It almost felt like Barcelona was part of an alien world, someplace foreign to the common eyes.
So my total stay was 5-6 days, we rented an apartment on the beach so we can get a nice tan ( not really) but we did tan any way. the weather was awesome. Although I checked the weather forecast for the week we were there and took some warm clothes along though it turned out to be useless and thank god for that.
Comparably, I thought Barcelona was in satisfactory condition. If I compare Oslo, London, Paris..I'd say Barcelona is very organized, affordable and it's a beauty additionally FUN..FUN..FUN..it's such a happening city that you can't get bored. Somewhere, some when, something is taking place you just got to have contacts.
This time I again had the privilege to sit in a taxi and I must say they have only gotten crazier with time, they drive ruthlessly as if they are invincible and the rest of the cars on the road are invisible :S
For some reason on almost every monument one can trace a sculpture of a lion, angles or eagles. I am not sure what is the significance of a Lion in Spain esp. in Barcelona but there is an unknown relation between these two.
Food, ok not many of us know this, well you might but 3 years ago I didn't know that there is a difference between Spanish and Mexican cuisine. I thought I was going to the heaven of Tacos, Quesadillas and Enchilladas..Huh..who was I kidding. All I found was Paella and Tapas and trust me I only ate enough to last for a week but fortunately Barcelona has an enormous population of Pakistanis therefore I was one happy camper in Barcelona unlike in  Madrid :) Love you Barcelona.
I took way too many pictures but I'll share only few since I don't have many of mine but mostly of the family members. BTW I used Sony Alpha 290 for my pictures.
