The best place I’ve ever visited

What’s the best place you’ve ever visited? For me it has to be Barcelona, in Spain. It’s such a wonderful city with a relaxed, but lively atmosphere. I’ve been back five times since I first visited. Barcelona has everything – buildings, food, fashion, music and good times. There is so much to see and do. The museums have works by Picasso and Miró. The city has some amazing modern architecture, including the Sagrada Familia church, and other Gaudí buildings.

There are lots of tourists, and sometimes there are just too many people on the Ramblas. But Barcelona is perfect for walking and exploring, and you can find some amazing areas of the city, with some great local restaurants and cafés. And the nightlife in Barcelona is buzzing! We stayed out every night dancing! The best time to visit is spring, as summer is too hot and humid, and it can get cold in winter. Barcelona is one of the best – and most exciting – cities in the world!
