Barcelona

Barcelona 

Barcelona is a spanish city and capital of the autonomus comunity of catalonia. Catalonia is on the border between Spain and France. It's the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid, and the eleventh of the European unnion. In Barcelona you can go to the bich and you can swim in the mediaterranean sea in the summer season (the hottest months are july, august and september) then you can take a cold glass of horchata in the ramblas. Horchata is a tradicional drink of valencia and catalonia.


In winter you can go skiing in the pyrenees. It's  also typical to eat "churros" with  chocolate. Churros it's a kind of cheese stick. There are many shopping centers around Barcelona, and you can go shopping in the plaza catalunya. In Barcelona you can go to the mountain of Montjuic from there you can see the whole city, incluidin the holy family. Montjuic has a famous cementiry and a castle, also the national art museum.
In Barcelona you can't swim in a river as here in Colombia because the water is scarce in Spain. It is typical eating chestnuts in autum and you can go to the tibidabo in the spring season.
