The Gothic Quarter, the old town of Barcelona epepa.eu

I’m not a type of traveler who likes to plan everything, actually I think forgetting the map and getting lost in a new place is the best part of exploring. As the hostel I was staying in Barcelona was close to the famous boulevard Las Ramblas I decided to visit it first, but as soon as I reached it I realized it’s definitely not a place for me. It was too busy and crowded with tourists, and to be honest, running away from there was all I wanted to do.

I left the boulevard trying to not be trampled down and soon got into a maze of very narrow, winding streets that took me away from the river of people and traffic noise. I have been wandering around, admiring an amazing medieval architecture, diving deeper and deeper into this marvelous area full of so much I wouldn’t have expected to see, and soon I realized that I got lost in Barri Gotic, but instead of being worried about this fact I found my little trip even more exciting than before.
