Barcelona!!!! So good, somebody wrote a song about it. Well at least that's what I thought! I had heard so many brilliant reviews, and I was expecting a lot from this city. I myself am an architecture student, and was interested in seeing the work of Antonio Gaudi there. Well, the architecture was dissapointing. Finding them, and your general way about the city was a nightmare! That was just one problem. We hadn't realised how dirty and polluted the city would be. We were staying at a campsite several miles out of the city, round the bay a bit. From out campsite, we should have had a great view of the city. Instead, all we could see was a cloud of smog in its place. We went to the beach near our campsite, to find litter floating in the sea, and it just being generally mirky. We didn't think much of the cuisine either. My friend thought he'd be adventurous and order something that he had no clue what it was. He ended up with a plate of bones, fat, skin, and fur! We couldn't find a bit of meat on it.
