It’s my last day in Barcelona and I have so many mixed feelings. I'm mostly sad because I don't want to leave this beautiful city. My friends and I started off the day by watching the sunrise from Park Güell. After that we went to Parc de la Ciutadella, the Barcelona Cathedral, and La Boqueria and we had our last lunch together. Then we headed over to the Bunkers del Carmel to watch the sunset. To end the day we drank from the Fountain de Canaletas because if you drink from this fountain, it is said that you will one day return to Barcelona.

I'd like to think of this as an "I'll see you soon", not a goodbye.
