Hello everyone! Even though my blog is about my life abroad in Barcelona, I haven’t actually written anything about my favorite city in a while. So here are some of my favorite snaps from summer so far!

A beautiful but very posh garden market I went to in a fancy house. I thought I was heading to a normal cheap market, but most things were upwards of €50!

Barceloneses enjoying an afternoon stroll to or from the beach on the Rambla de Poble Nou. We stopped for some cool beers after a hard day at the beach.

This is a beautiful sunset on my street – I get a great view of Tibidabo!

As far as nightlife goes, I’m spending Friday night chilling with a cup of tea and a documentary (so mature!), and heading to a house party or two tomorrow.

Ahh, summer!
