One of the best part about living in Barcelona is that the city is on the coast. Big city life mixes with marina life and its awesome.

Standing at the coast is a monument of Christopher Columbus, pointing towards the ocean - symbolic of his quest that founded America.

Cool Fact: The Aquarium in Barca is the largest in Europe. It took us a few hours to see the whole thing.
