I have studied Spanish for the last seven years, and have fallen
in love with the language and various cultures. And every since I started
learning about the different Spanish speaking countries, I have dreamed of
going to Barcelona, Spain. This popular tourist area is rich in culture and
history. In my last Spanish class I did a presentation on Antoni GaudÃ, a
famous Spanish architect. His work depicts a more Modernisme style along with
influences from nature. After seeing
pictures of his most famous building located in Barcelona, I am really
eager to visit the city and see GaudÃ’s Work.
In addition to learning about the city in school, I have also seen
it featured in different movies and television show. I first discovered the
city when I watched The Cheetah Girls 2 back in middle school. After watching this popular Disney film, I too wanted to dance
and sing in the streets of Barcelona. The entire movie was filmed there and
highlighted the cities greatest features.
Most of my knowledge about Barcelona has come from school and TV,
so I haven’t really heard any negatives. The city it known for being a popular
tourist attraction, and is a major
cultural and economic center in southwestern Europe. I
think the city is not only a great vacation spot but also an unique location to study
abroad. It would be the ideal place to further my knowledge about the Spanish
language and culture. Even if I never have the opportunity to study in
Barcelona, vacationing there is definitely on my bucket list.
