Barcelona Fall 2022

I lived in a subsection of the city known as Gracia. The people, events, and overall vibe of this place was what made Barcelona special. We had a local bar and restaurant that we went to frequently where we practiced our Spanish and met some of the coolest people we ever met. We knew all of the bartenders by name which gave us a sort of family and comfort living in this big city. Any time we passed them on the street, they knew us by name and would always have the biggest smiles on their faces. Despite living in this huge city, away from all family and friends, I was able to make new lifelong friends and connections that have been some of the most influential relationships I have made in the past few years.
