I have discovered my favorite area of Barcelona! It's called El Born. There are a million little streets with colored buildings and cafes and restaurants and I think I could walk around in it forever.
There is also a beautiful cathedral in the middle of the area called Basílica de Santa María del Mar. It was finished being built in 1383-- that is before Columbus even went to America, wooww! It is "del Mar" (or of the sea) because it is right next to the port where sailors would go out on journeys and many would never come back. It was built for people to come mourn when their sailor did not return.
that's one of my fav areas too!!! so jealous but so happy that you're there enjoying it.
