Unfortunately we didn't have the money to go into Barcelona to experience some architecture and art and other forms of culture. The holiday is essentially a 7 day clubbing holiday and we were situated in a 4 star hotel where some of the artists performing in the club were also staying. The town where we were situated was obviously driven by tourism with examples of globalisation round every corner with a limited number of Spanish shops and restaurants. Spain also won the Euro 2008 trophy whilst we were staying there which was an experience to see so many people dancing in the street. i noticed a difference between how seriously English culture considers football whilst the Spanish seemed more chilled out towards the sport. I think it would have been a greater celebration in England. Just because we invented the sport i think we feel like we need to prove something! Just a couple of pictures i got from my stay -
