Un día de lluvia en Barcelona – part 1.
Aka a rainy day in Barcelona, to rephrase Woody Allen. 🤓 Just because I woke up today for the heavy rain, it couldn’t mean that I’m spending the entire day at home. Barcelona has so much to offer even on a rainy day, besides the obvious. 😉 I. First, some culture and history, let’s visit…
The last good-bye?
We’ll meet again for sure! Or just simply not… and it’s fine too! A last good-bye.
