A return to Barcelona for me, which is where I first set foot on foreign soil as a solo traveler 13 years ago. Since then, Barcelona seems more crowded and busy, but still as fantastic as I remember it.
We’re using AirBNB for some of our accommodation on this trip, where people with spare places rent them out. We were living just out of the centre of town in an area called ‘Hostafrancs’. It’s outside the main tourist area so we felt like we were living like locals. At least until we tried to start talking. My Spanish wasn’t as good as I thought it was, obviously.
