Barcelona, on the Mediterranean Sea, is the second largest city in Spain – and my favorite.
Barcelona, Spain – In Another Minute (Week 28) from Luci Westphal on Vimeo.
Before I knew exactly when we would move to Berlin (or if it was really going to happen) I had already planned to do two things: see Pavement in May (In A Berlin Minute – Week 3) and visit my oldest friend Cordula on her birthday in November… in the city she was planning to move to: Barcelona.
It still seems so incredible that it all worked out. I moved back to Germany, she moved to Spain… and last week for her birthday I got to visit her in Barcelona – a city I instantly fell in love with.
Because I got the sense that Cordula (like several of my friends) wouldn’t want to be featured in one of my videos, here are just a few of the incredible things we saw. Although for me spending so much time with such a dear friend that I’ve known since we were three years old was just as wonderful.
And yes, the weather was gorgeous – in November!
Some of the locations in order:
