Barcelona's Top Five
Have Fun in the Sun

From huge festivals to hole-in-the-wall venues, playing everything from electronica to punk, there’s more to Barcelona’s music scene than its iconic Rumba Catalana.
Appreciate the Art
Home to numerous works by Pablo Picasso, the surreal sculptures of Joan Miró, and the fantastic, dreamlike architecture of Gaudi, there’s plenty of art—indoors and out—to inspire you.

Catalan cuisine consists of savory stews, fresh seafood, delicious jamón, spicy potatoes, olives, and so much more. Wash it down with a cold orxata (a refreshing drink made from the tiger nut plant).

My Newfound Love of Tapas
Upon my arrival to Spain I was very eager to immerse myself in all things Spanish cuisine. I would consider myself a food connoisseur. I love everything food, whether it be a quick bite at the deli underneath my apartment for cheap, or grand dinners that I spend my entire savings on; I love it all.

First, I just wanna say my study abroad time was amazing and easily some of the best months of my life.

What Madrid/Spain Culture is REALLY Like
Hola, bienvenidos a mi último blog en Madrid! I cannot believe it’s time to leave already. I leave in a couple of days and it’s extremely bittersweet. I’ve been sorta struggling to find a topic for this blog but then I realized now that my time is kinda over it’d be a good time to reflect a little on the overall culture and energy of Madrid and Spain.
