Upon arriving back from Paris, I can say the past two weeks have been hectic, and I can feel it getting worse. University, and not just any university, but one that gives you 3 days as a revision period for exams, is taking over my life. So I have now started revision, 5 lovely exams, all in Spanish, subjects ranging from the economic history of Spain to advertising to foundations of translation. But anyway, in between panicking for these exams I have managed to venture into the goings on in Barcelona once again, slightly more cultural this week.
It has been one of my best friends birthday, so we have been out for meals, coffee and obviously a night out in Barcelona. I am now getting used to getting the metro back at 6am and it being full of people, like it is a normal occurrence. That is one thing Barcelona will never be, quiet. I can't complain as it is what makes the city what it is.
I have also been to the exhibition of the World Press Photo 2013 at the Centre Cultural Contemporánea de Barcelona, which was amazing, and has made me want to see even more exhibitions. Although I feel like art and culture just surrounds you in Barcelona, no matter where you are in the city and it is such an amazing atmosphere. I am also starting to gain a collections of 'views of Barcelona' and on Sunday I went to one place which tops them all up to now, The Bunkers. I have been twice now, once at night and once in the day, and the view is phenomenal at both times in the day. I will definitely be returning here, it is a great spot to just relax with friends and take in the stunning view of Barcelona.
It is not long until I am back in Manchester for Christmas, so I want to make the most of a Catalan Christmas. Bon Nadal.
Here are some of the photos:
