Walking

 

 

The street “Las Ramblas” is Barcelona’s most densely pedestrian populated street and one of the cities main tourist attractions. This street is a melting pot for locals and foreigners, which are equally fascinated by the charm of this area. Thousands of people walk here each day, coming from entirely different backgrounds and united by this avenue. Many are foreign students in the same situation as I am and have the opportunity to discover this cities fantastic atmosphere. To me this street symbolises the merging of different cultures, languages, people, stories and backgrounds and it has given me the opportunity to meet wonderful young people. The experience of leaving home has taught me much about myself and it is reassuring to know others are experiencing the same things. To me this is magnificent and in this fast paced city it is wonderful to have one place where everyone comes together.
