One of the things I was impressed about traveling in Barcelona was the colorful exteriors of the buildings. There seems to be no ordinary building in Barcelona. They may be ordinary in shape and structure but each building boasted of unique and beautiful wall designs.

I think local market is one of the places where you can closely observe lives of the local people. On Ramblas street (Las Ramblas) in Barcelona there is a historical market named La Boqueria that has been around since 1882.

Known as the finest market in Europe, like their reputation you can find everything here. Specially one of the most interesting things to see is the way they display the goods. The vendor’s displaying skills are outstanding, it’s almost as if there are showing off what display is all about.

It was the first time for me to see selling fruits hanging up. It was quite an exotic scene but maybe because it was a part of the local market, somehow it felt friendly.

There are many tourist attractions in Barcelona but personally I think La Boqueria is the place you can experience and see the true sides of Barcelona.
As soon as I stepped into the airplane headed back to UK after a week of travelling in Barcelona, I started to miss Barcelona. The perfect scenery with the mild weather, the mountains and the sea. The cozy atmosphere where people know how to relax and enjoy siesta, and most of all, the nice Spanish people who always treat you with a smile on their face.
