the start of merce Festival and tour of the Gothic Area


Today was my last day of school for the week because the Merce festival starts tomorrow and it is the biggest festival in Barcelona. After I got out of class, I came back to the house, ate lunch and went to the Gothic tour. The gothic tour is the historic area of Barcelona where there are many old cathedrals and remains from when the Romans occupied the city. The tour was amazing. We went in a Cathedral where they were having mass and singing and we saw remains of the Roman walls and the pillars of the city. We then went to the center and saw the beginning of the festival. It was these huge puppets and live music and the puppets dance. It was crazy! It was funny to see and exciting because so many people have traveled here this weekend for the festival. This also means that a close eye needs to be kept on my belongings. With tourists come pick pockets. Well im off to have dinner with the family! Adios from Espana!
