Palosanto on Rambla del Raval (10/10)

We had made the spontaneous decision to eat here purely because we wanted to be sitting on La Rambla del Raval due to the ample amount of outdoor seating for each of the restaurants lining the large, ovular roundabout – and therefore, plenty of opportunities to watch the sun set and people watch over sangria…

FC Barcelona [Barça] wins La Liga

[May 14th/15th, 2016] The best part of soccer (said -fútbol- here!) in Spain is that even if you’re not genuinely up to date with the sport, aka doesn’t matter if you know the rules, what games are currently happening or which players are the favorites, you can still appreciate how it culturally unifies the country.. this unity…
