...because of beautiful lit up BCN LLUM 2015...

...beautiful Barcelona lit up for the Festes de Santa Eulàlia; one of the two patron Saints of Barcelona.  Even in the midst of cold winter, Barcelona lights up and celebrates. A trail of lights leads you through the Gotic Quarter and delivers glowing statues, light installations and a sparkling city.

..because of the super festive, Fiesta de Gracia...

 

... the Fiesta de Gracia - every August, the neighbourhood of Gracia holds its own Festival.  The residents decorate the streets and the plazas with colourful and original designs.  Every night is a party with bars and bands in the streets and it is easy to lose yourself (and your way) exploring the fun and festivaties that are on offer! It is a wonderful and colourful tradition and worth a visit.

...because BunBo is a quick visit to Vietnam...

  

... and yet just around the corner from the Catedral. Bun Bo with its beautiful lanterns, bright colours and a view (photo)to Hulong Bay,  makes for a great getaway on a Winters night and a place to warm up with some spicey vietnamese food.  I love asian food and I am always happy when I find another (delicious) asian restaurant.
