Spain

While over in Europe, the final place I would like to visit would be Spain. The culture and language is something I find fascinating. This country borders the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The first city I would like to visit would be Barcelona. It is the second largest city in Spain with a population of 1.6 million. Its culture and architectural works are what bring people to this area. One of the main tourist attractions in Barcelona is the Sagrada Familia which is one of the most popular churches in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudi. His work is well known throughout Spain. Museums are another thing that people in Spain appreciate because it shows their history. One of the most popular museums is the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. This museum focuses on Spanish art rather than the history or science of Spain like many of the other museums. Barcelona is also well known for all of the parks that are located here. Barcelona contains 68 parks, some are thematic others are just normal parks. A park called Montjuic, is located on top of a mountain with the same name. There is also a park located near the Barcelona Zoo, and a labyrinth park which is named after the garden maze it contains. While your in Barcelona, you have to take a day trip to one of its seven beaches. Barcelona was listed number one of the top ten cities with the best beaches in Spain according to National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. The second city I would like to visit would the capital of Spain, Madrid. The business area of Madrid contains many skyscrapers, which is always fascinating to me. People in Madrid value the architecture and sculptures they have. One of the most well known example is the Fountain of Neptune, as well as many others. Visiting Spain would be very interesting. I think learning about another culture would be something I would like to do one day.
