Barcelona here I come

On the 26th of August 2011 it was time to let the adventure Spain begin. All my luggage was packed (impossible to fit everything for five months into only one suitcase..) and I was waiting at the airport Cologne/Bonn to catch my flight - destination: Barelona, Catalunya/ Spain.
I was really exited to go there because I have never been there before. Nevertheless I was a bit sad to leave my family and my friends, but the pleasant anticipation to Spain was bigger and so I was really happy when I arrived in Barcelona in the evening. It was already dark but still the city had a magic vibrancy and I was looking forward to see more of it.
I will live here in Barcelona now for five month in order to do my internship at an export company called Exel Fil. But till the beginning of the work placement I had some time left to settle in and explore this city.
Barcelona is awesome! It is a stunning mixture of contrasts; modern business districts on the one side, and old buildings from ancient times such as churches and cathedrals, places and other constructions on the other side. Furthermore, Barcelona has a lot of history and culture and people from almost all over the world live here. In my opinion, the city has a lot of charme and I am really looking forward to the next five month and getting to know more of the beauty of Catalunya.
Here some impressions of my new home:
