    I went in 1984 aged 11 as a tourist. We stayed in a town called Calella. Had a day trip to Barcelona, I seem to recall everything being very tall and high. And the fact that kids play out on the streets till past 11pm. That stunned me!! This was lovely to watch. So glad you’re enjoying your time there, I do love your vlogs and the lightness that seems to have come to you now you own your old channel The Way Away, without any ties. That’s where I found you first. It’s wonderful to witness. 💖

    We loved Barcelona, and especially enjoyed walking around The Gothic Quarter. We have never taken any of the free walking tours in the many cities we have visited in Europe. I think it's about time we started. Looks like a great way to get more information about an area, before heading out on your own. Have a great week Ash. - Coreen

    Very interesting fact about the Olympics. A lot of cities that hold them don't use the facilities after the games were over. Nice to hear that Barcelona does

    • @tonys1636
      @tonys1636 2 роки тому +1

      Most western European cities use the facilities afterwards, even the Olympic village becomes local authority housing, the venues used by the relevant National sports associations or football clubs if stadiums or is it stadia. Latin never a strong point. Octopuses or Octopi?

    Don’t wait to take a tour in Spanish, especially if it’s free(sort of). I lived in Florence for a few months learning Italian and took several tours with the language school, all in Italian. It will help you learn the subtleties of the language you won’t get in a class settings.

    We love Barcelona and the Gothic Quarter in particular! Will be back there in October and really looking forward to it. So many small bars & eateries and it really comes alive in the evening. I love the Manchester Bar, a small bar really tucked away, where they play music from bands from Manchester, UK in the main. It may not be your 'cup of tea' though Ash !

    Ahhh so lovely Ash! Like I was there with you! Thank you so much! Yeah, the ad on the church, kinda tacky isn't it? I remember the Barcelona Olympics, watched alot of it being a big fan of the games both summer and winter. Hey ...there is this cathedral there, I think it's called Sagrada Familia? Construction on it began sometime in the 1880's I believe? And it STILL isn't finished! ( I am not consulting Wiki or anything so am relying on the old noggin for this LOL) I've seen images of the exterior and it is beyond STUNNING. Maybe you can check it out sometime!!

    If you see the letter x, it’s Catalan as that letter isn’t used in Spanish (I could have that the wrong way around as I’m not fluent in either but used to live in Catalonia).

    • @mickybcn7453
      @mickybcn7453 Рік тому

      The letter x is used in spanish for example anexo ,sexo,sexto,mixto,axioma,etc etc in catalan there are other letters that don't exist in spanish for example ç , and in catalan don't exist the letter ñ.

    Barcelona siempre fue una ciudad industrial, Franco murió en 1975, lo que atrajo muchísimo turismo fueron las olimpiadas pero igualmente recibía a turistas antes de eso no con tanta cantidad, las playas si existian!!! La Barceloneta era un barrio de pescadores, pero algunas zonas no eran aptas para el baño debido a que habían industria. Se quitaron y se abrió al mar, pero playa y gente bañándose y pescadores si existian. Es muy importante escoger guías turísticos con carnet profesional y no agencias que no están autorizadas o que tienen a guías personas sin titulación profesional.
