A nice weekend in a nice place...!


If you have free time to spend a weekend away, you can choose Catalunya, a wonderful and peaceful place that you can visit and get all sort of things.


First of all you can go to Barcelona, the capital. You can visit a lot of things but I recommend the most important on my point of view. Never mind to visit La Sagrada Familia, the most Important Monument that Antoni Gaudí (Riudoms, the 25th of June of 1852 – Barcelona, the 10th of June of 1926) has built (it isn’t finished yet).

Another place that Antoni Gaudí made is the Güell Park, a great building with great columns that I’ve never seen before and the famous Dragon.

After that you can go to the Ramblas, to the Gotic area and to Passeig de Gracia an avenue that you can see some different modernist buildings, like "La Casa Batlló" or "La Casa Lleó-Morera".

You can also visit Tarragona and see different places of this wonderful city. It's my home town and you could read about it in another post published some days before.

Another place is “El Delta de l’Ebre”, a big and wonderful delta river. It is situated in an inhospitable place, far from the capital and sometimes forgotten by a lot of people from Catalunya.



Other places you can visit around this area (Terres de l'Ebre) are Tortosa, Sant Carles de la Ràpita, Amposta, El pinell de Brai, etc.
