Hi everyone! Barcelona is a very vibrant city that is great for learning abroad. It’s big enough to always have something to explore every day but still easy to get around and feel like home.
Living in Barcelona feels like a dream come true. The city is full of color, life, and history. The streets are lined with tall green trees, and the mix of old and modern buildings makes every walk interesting. The streets are so beautiful with the trees and the architecture. The city is located right on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, which means you can see both the beach and the mountains in the same view -- something very special! Barcelona also has a mix of natural and human-made beauty -- from palm trees and warm blue water to colorful buildings designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The weather is usually sunny and mild, making it the perfect place to walk, bike, or sit outside. It almost never snows here in Barcelona, though you can sometimes see snow on the mountaintops in the distance. Around every corner, there’s a cozy coffee shop where people relax, study or meet with friends, which are all a big part of the everyday lifestyle.
