Barcelona<\/strong> is one of those cities that people instantly fall in love with.\u00a0 There\u2019s actually something magical about the city.\u00a0 I would say that there\u2019s some sort hidden people magnet planted deep inside one of the mountains in Catalunya.<\/p>\n

When meeting other internationals in the city, don\u2019t be surprised when you hear of unusual stories about what exactly brought them here.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a social butterfly, always meeting and talking with people, you might stumble across bizarre stories of relocation love, digital nomad travels, cross country travel experiments, or just people running away from the dullness of their home cities or lives.\u00a0 Yes, people are running away from their lives to Barcelona,<\/strong> and they\u2019re loving the change.<\/p>\n

Barcelona<\/strong> is vibrant.\u00a0 From the spunky architecture by Gaudi<\/a>, to a progressive startup culture and arts scene, Barcelona<\/strong> is one of those cities where you can meet anyone from just about anywhere in the world.\u00a0 They\u2019re being pulled by the magnet.<\/p>\n

Loneliness is definitely not an option in Barcelona.<\/strong>\u00a0 There\u2019s always something going on.\u00a0 Not only will you get a whisk of late night Catalan culture (they\u2019re known for being the night owls of Europe), but there\u2019s always something going on.\u00a0 Music venues, funky pubs, Catalan<\/a><\/strong> theatre, food (so much food), clubs, museums and lots and lots of people. If you just sit on a bench at Las Ramblas<\/a><\/strong>, and watch the diverse array of people go by on any given day or evening, that alone will kill any thoughts of loneliness. Once again, I think it has something to do with the people magnet that\u2019s hidden somewhere in the mountains of Monistrol Montserrat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are just some of the few things that make Barcelona<\/strong> so lovable.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t believe in love at first sight, please reconsider.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even get to mention the main attraction for many; the weather and beaches.\u00a0 It\u2019s not quite easy to get a bustling cosmopolitan city with great weather and a beach all in one. \u00a0Some of the beaches are literally walking distance from the city\u2019s center.<\/p>\n

\"Night<\/a>When asking people what they love about Barcelona, the competitive prices for food, clothes and fun is the main keeper. Comparing Barcelona<\/strong> to cities such as Brussels, Stockholm, London, Copenhagen and even Milan, is a no-brainer.\u00a0 The weather, comparable prices, a large international community and Catalan<\/a> culture mixed all in one make Barcelona<\/strong>\u00a0one of those must see, must visit, and even must live in cities.<\/p>\n
