POSTCARDS // BARCELONA PART 2

Barcelona is that great mix of the old town and the ocean. Just 20 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of La Ramblas you can find yourself dipping your toes in the Balearic Sea. Barceloneta beach is dotted with beach bars, tapas restaurants and deck chairs - a top combination to escape the spanish heat.

POSTCARDS // BARCELONA PART 1

I've fallen in love with Barcelona. I'd been told by a few people before I left that this was definitely 'my kind of city' but i didn't think i'd fall so hard.

Being a summer girl - late autumn in Europe was always going to be a challenge for me - but this glistening, un-pretentious coastal city was just what I needed between chilly Paris and London. With the coat left in the suitcase and my parents in tow, between sangrias we explored the harbour, the beaches, the old town, the shopping and of course the amazing architecture of Gaudi.
