Touring

Today in my Spanish class we went on a small field trip! My class, teacher and I met up in the city and gave we all gave pre-prepared tours of three of Barcelona's districts: El Born, El Barrio Gótico and El Raval. We talked about the history of each district, different monuments you can see within the district, and gave shops and restaurant recommendations.

I spoke about the Barrio Gótico which is the oldest section of Barcelona. It was founded by the Romans and back in the day it was surrounded by Roman walls. Today you can still see some of the ruins of the walls! Filled with medieval buildings, cobblestone streets, and beauty all around, this is probably one of my most favorite parts of Barcelona.

It was such a fun class! And I even got to try my first kebab in the up and coming district of El Raval!
