Gaudi Cathedral - Barcelona, Spain

Spain is one of the most beautiful and romantic countries in the world. From the beaches to the bullfights, the whole place is rich with culture and history. I have no Spanish background, no ability to speak the language, I don't even know anyone with a Spanish background. BUT, I would love to visit the three major cities of this country: Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. 

   Starting in the capitol city of Madrid, the main attraction during the summer is the bullfights. For three weeks starting in May, the fights are every night and draws crowds of thousands of tourists and locals to join in one of the many spectacular events that Spain has to offer. Just walking down the streets of Madrid you can feel the history in the buildings around you. With most of the historic neighborhoods still around since the 1700’s, there is so much to learn and appreciate that you can’t just help to get lost in the culture. 

   Barcelona is home to many different fashion shows and is one of the major fashion capitols of the world. Bread & Butter is a famous fashion show that was held in Barcelona from 2000 to 2009. The other major show is The Brandery, an urban fashion show where they display their models twice a year. 

   When visiting Valencia, the number one place to go to is the Ciutat de les Arts I les Ciences. The “City of Arts and Sciences” contains many different buildings such as a huge Imax screen, a planetarium, an interactive science museum, and an opera house. I can't wait to visit!
