So this is my last week in Spain. I leave Barcelona on Saturday and I go directly to Madrid until Tuesday, when I fly back to the U.S. Now that time is winding down, my friends and I have frantically running around trying to do and see everything before we leave.
Monday was a beach day - we stayed there allll day and then went to the huge market for the last time. We had our favorite Monday night dinner at Maoz, an all vegetarian, all cheap, and all delicious restaurant. It has a hugeee buffet of different types of vegetables that you can put in a pita with falafel. And the best part is, you can go back as many times as you want!!
That night we decided to go to one of our favorite bars, L'Ovella Negra (The Black Sheep). It's an off-the-beaten-path kinda place and it's always packed. The ambience is very rustic yet fun. They have the bestttt Sangria there for the best price, so Sarah, Holly and I had to go. We ended up meeting some guys from Holland who spoke perfect English, in addition to French, Dutch, and more. When they asked me what languages I speak, I couldn't help but laugh.
They were fun guys so we ended up staying there until closing and then went to bed for class the next day.
Yesterday Sarah, Holly, and I went to Parc Guell, which is designed by Gaudi, the same person that designed Sagrada Familia. It was absolutely amazing! I love his architecture because it's different and completely unique, but it's not weird or disturbing. If you have some time, I definitely recommend that you look it up. Apparently it was originally supposed to be an entire neighborhood, but it never got that far. I would kill to live in a place that beautiful!!
Today I had a presentation in Spanish about my favorite place in Barcelona, and of course I did it on my favorite beach, Platja de la Nova Mar Bella. I don't think my professor was surprised at all, considering I always talk about "la playa" in Spanish class.
Today, Holly and I went to one of the oldest markets in Europe. They had everything you could ever imagine - tools, video games, clothes, shoes, pet cages, drapery, everything!! It was fun to see, but it's not really anything I'd want to bring home with me. Also, I'm not sure if everything sold there is legal, because I got yelled at by a man when I took a picture of his stand. Don't worry, I have learned to not respond when people yell at me in fear of another hand to the face.
Tonight my roommates and I are going to a park where they play live jazz music. We have our final tomorrow so we're keeping it pretty low key.
That's all for now! Talk to you soon!!
