Life in Barcelona

If you are visiting Barcelona do not forget to see the beautiful mountainous surroundings in Catalunya! Just 2 hours away from the city you can find the wilderness right next door with hundreds of different routes and places to enjoy.

If you like trekking in an astonishing landscape you have come to the right spot on earth! One of my favourite places is Pedraforca, a small tiny little village just 2, 5 hours away from Barcelona.

I have been living and working in Barcelona for roughly a month now. As I am a huge football fan, Barcelona is of course a perfect city to stay in. I thought that the people in the Netherlands were very football minded but here in Barcelona the whole society is just mad of football; there are lots of football- channels, bars, shops, clubs, and it is amazing to see that the whole city supports the team. I heard that when Barcelona became the champion of the Primera Division last year and the year before that everyone supporting the team came to the city centre to celebrate the championship. The city centre and surrounding areas were totally packed with cheering, screaming and singing people, and when they won the Champions League last year it was even more spectacular. It must have been an amazing experience being there, if they achieve it this year I am certainly going check it out.
