I traveled to Barcelona for the weekend for one of my good friends 21st birthday, Cait. We used Ryanair airline to get to Barcelona, about an hour and a half flight. We stayed at the Flor Parks Hotel off of La Rambles. (Originally planned to stay at Kabul Backpackers Hostel..that was a big no) Although we experienced a couple problems here and there it was a beautiful city. It has excellent sangria! The food..not so great if your like me and don't prefer fried food or seafood. We paid 4 euro to go up to the top of the columbus statue which overlooks Barcelona, well worth it! An amazing view. We went to the Picaso Museum, which has his very first piece of artwork to his last.
