While I got to see so many great things outside of Catalonia and Spain, it was what was near to home that I enjoyed the most. My apartment was close to a market and great tapas bar. Barcelona is situated between several great cities that allow for history lessons and trips to the top of a Ferris wheel. I wouldn't trade the tapas and friends for the world.
