Exploring Barcelona Part 1

Exploring Barcelona – Part One

Posted by | Barcelona, Spain | 4 Comments

 

Our introduction to Barcelona was cold, windy, and rainy. Cristina wasn’t expecting such frigid temperatures, especially after having spent the last eight months in the jungles of Mexico near the Maya ruins of Palenque. For myself, I spent the bulk of my formative years in Colorado along the Front Range, as well as time in Bulgaria along the Black Sea, so for me it was a welcome change of pace from the often smothering heat of the jungle.

A little-known town in the hills outside of Sofia, only accessible by a winding single-lane paved road that carves its way up through the hills in a series of switchbacks, or by hiking up a similar type of trail through the forest, Milanovo is one of those little places you only uncover by going off the beaten path.

It’s one thing to visit Cancun, Mexico while on a vacation, for Spring Break, or even for a staycation or gap year. But it’s something else to live here, on the ground, with a residency visa and all the rights that come along with it, like free entrance to museums and national parks, as well as the right to open up a bank account – something tourists can’t do.
