My brother turned 18 this year and as a present from our parents he received a trip to Barcelona. As a nice addition I got to go with him, so last Thursday I took off. With a lucky coincidence Filiz had her flight to Germany on the same day, so we got to go to the airport together, which was pretty cool. :)
I've been to Barcelona before, but it was 6 years ago, so I didn't remember the city much. Though I had some places in mind that I couldn't visit the last time, so now they were on the top of the list.
Also since my brother is a huge Barca fan, we had to go to Camp Nou and take a tour there, get him a T-shirt and of course we had to watch the Champion's League final on Saturday. :) In the beginning I had my doubts on how I will handle these (since I like football but not that much), but in the end I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Also in return I dragged him to Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell and other sights to see, so we both had our fair share of fun.
Here is our trip in pictures:
