It is very strange the first time you see it, especially coming from the US. But once you study the history it all makes sense.

Spent a few days in Alhama de Granada. What an amazing place!

After realising in Madrid how much I enjoy discovering cities on foot, I ended up doing the same in all the cities I visited in Spain. This was one of my Barcelona walks.

Started around Ciutadella Park, passed through the Cathedral of Barcelona, and ended near La Pedrera - Casa Mila.

What I liked was that, just like Madrid, it never felt like the fun was only at the attractions themselves. A lot of what I enjoyed was everything in between. The city kept changing as I walked through it.

Ciutadella Park felt calm and nice to start from, though I’ll admit that the dirt walkways made it a little underwhelming for me especially after El Retiro in Madrid . Then the cathedral area had a lot more old character, more people, more market energy, and felt a lot more alive. By the time I got to the La Pedrera side, the whole vibe had changed again and felt much more polished and grand. (Got to know about Gaudí's work a bit)

I think I really liked doing it this way, first taking a stroll around the city and get the vibe, and then later coming back to explore different parts in more detail.
