It is said that the best saffron is produced in the Valencia region, and it is no wonder that the most famous Spanish risotto is also produced there. Most Europeans like to www.biquge.info more chewy rice, so the rice in the paella eaten there is simply "sandwiched rice" in the eyes of Asians, but for people with a very European taste like Yunluo, it is just right.
Tapas are another Spanish food speciality that has to be mentioned. This small, shareable food is a symbol of the Spanish culture, which is the same as the unrestrained temperament of the Spaniards.
In fact, tapas are snacks with snacks, and there are many types: fried small fish, onion rings, squid rings, chips, fish **, etc., and the prototype of Pizza Hut's snack platter should be Spanish tapas.
Larambla is one of the most famous boulevards in Europe, with a long ribbon of more than 1,800 metres running from Plaacatalunya down to the port area.
The security problem here can be described as notoriously poor, and before I arrived in Barcelona, I heard all kinds of scams from various posts, such as guessing which bowl the ball is, dancing paper villains, splashing dirty things on you¢, ww$w., taking advantage of the crowd to touch your wallet, KFC thieves, etc.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, who were frightened by the experience of these seniors, did not dare to take out their cameras at all on Las Ramblas, and did not dare to take out their cameras until they were almost to the Columbus Watchtower. In fact, Las Ramblas is not as bad as imagined, and the Spanish police have deployed a lot of police to patrol the streets.
Those who commit adultery will be more or less restrained. In a word, raise your attention and don't look at the excitement. Ignoring strangers' accosting, a lot of troubles can be completely avoided.
At the end of Las Ramblas is the port area, where the Columbus Lookout Tower stands. When Christopher Columbus returned from his first voyage in 1493, it was in Barcelona that the Catholic kings Isabel and Fernando welcomed him in triumph. To commemorate this historic event, but also to celebrate the Universal Exposition of 1888.
The Barcelona authorities decided to erect a monument to Columbus. During the Universal Exposition of 1888, the Columbus Watchtower was officially inaugurated. This majestic cylindrical monument is built entirely of ochre-red marble. The body of the tower is 60 meters high, and there are two lines of big characters on it: "Glory belongs to Columbus" and "Salute to Columbus".
It is said to be the largest statue of Christopher Columbus in the world, with a book in one hand and a point pointing in the direction of the American continent. This finger fulfilled the ambition of the Spaniards, but it was a disaster for the people of the Americas. The location of the tower is the end of Las Ramblas and the starting point of the tour of the port area, symbolizing the connection between the city center and the harbour.
Stroll through the port area and you'll be greeted by the romance of Barcelona, yes. Where there is seawater, there is naturally a soft atmosphere. Sitting here blowing the sea breeze and looking at the blue sky, I think of Woody? Another of Allen's masterpieces, Midnight in Barcelona, is highly recommended.
Towards the end of the evening, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to Barcelona. Divided in two by Las Ramblas, it is small and more suitable for a walking tour. The cathedral is a landmark in this area.
The cathedral is built on the ruins of a former Roman city, and from time to time you can find a few Romanesque columns supporting the roof of the basement, or a section of the ancient Roman wall (murallaromana) under the floor, and the cloister (elclaustre) of the basilica is the most popular with tourists. However, there is a time limit for opening hours. There's no denying that the Sagrada Familia overshadows the charm of Barcelona Cathedral.
As I walked from the cathedral to the Catalan Concert Hall, it suddenly began to rain. It's not big, but it's very meaningful, because Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are swimming in the most attractive part of Barcelona.
The Catalan Concert Hall was built between 1905 and 1908 in a modernist style, designed by architect Louis Domenech? Montaner. The concert hall is located in a narrow street and the façade is richly decorated. It also combines a variety of elements, including traditional Spanish and Arabic elements.
The most prominent features of the concert hall are the group sculptures based on folk songs, the group sculptures of the stage arches symbolizing ethnic and classical music, and the muses on the background wall, as well as colorful sculptures and ceramic mosaic decorations. and stained glass windows, ubiquitous mosaic puzzles and paintings, which combine the entire building into a single work of art.
Today, more than 500,000 people attend the various musical performances at the Palais de la Música de Catalunya every year. From symphonies and chamber music, to jazz and canso (Catalan songs).
The Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona has a very Russian feel. As I said before, the homework on this trip was quite inadequate, and I only knew that there was a Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, and many beautiful buildings in Barcelona, and I didn't know anything else, let alone that there was also a triumphal arch here.
After leaving the Catalan Concert Hall, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu got lost in the intricate paths of the old city, but they only turned a corner and saw this triumphal arch that they had never known. Built as the main entrance to the 1888 World's Fair, it is built of red brick in the Moorish Revival style.
The front lintel is carved with 'barcelonareplesnacions' ('Barcelona welcomes all nations') and the back lintel is carved with a stone carving called 'repense'. The top of the Arc de Triomphe is decorated with the coats of arms of 49 other Spanish provinces. The Arc de Triomphe de Barcelona is located at the end of the wide avenue of Passeigdelluispanys, which leads to the Parc de la Castle.
That surprise that you find by accident is the best flavoring for a trip. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but Yunluo could still imagine the beautiful scene on a sunny day: the blue sky, the white clouds, the red triumphal arch and the straight road behind her and the green grass on both sides of the road would make for a picturesque view.
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu sat here for a while, briefly adjusted their fatigue after a day of rampage, watched a lot of dogs playing, and prepared to take the subway back to the hotel.
Subway to the hotel, how could Yunluo and Yan Shenyu be willing to end the day's rampage like this, the mother proposed to go back to the hotel first, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu threw her back to the hotel, and continued to walk from the hotel to Plaza de España in the last period of the day.
In fact, it is very close, from the intersection where the hotel is located all the way to the south, you don't even have to turn a corner, and you can see Plaza de España after walking for half an hour. Although it can't be compared to the Piazza di Spaña in Rome, her beauty is undeniable. Piazza di Spaña is one of the largest squares in Barcelona, built for the 1929 World's Fair and located at the foot of Montjuïc.
It is the intersection of several main roads: the Granviadelescortscatalanes, the Parallel Avenue, the Carrerdetarragona, and the Maria? Queen Christina Avenue (Avenguda de la Reinamariacristina).
The latter leads to the National Palace, which houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia. The fountain in the center of the square was designed by Josepmariajujol.
The Barcelona Arena (Arenas de Barcelona) on the square was originally a bullring, built in 1900 in the Moorish Revival style and has been converted into a shopping center. There is an elevator that takes visitors to the top of the arena to enjoy the whole city of Barcelona for 1 euro per person.
At the top of the bullring is now a circle of restaurants, each of which plays romantic music that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can't understand, and if it weren't for the food I bought at the supermarket near the hotel, it would be absolutely enjoyable to have a pretty atmospheric dinner here.
In fact, this is not the highest point of Barcelona, nor is it the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of Barcelona, but the Holy Family Cathedral and Moujuic Hill are the best places to enjoy the panoramic view of Barcelona. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu turned around twice on it, and then took the elevator down. Wherever you go, the pet also shows its face, and everyone should not think that Yunluo is a psychopath.
From the elevator of the bullring, you can see the two 47-metre-high Venetian Towers on the Paseo Maria Cristina, with the magnificent Museo Nacional de Art de Catalunya to the south and the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games to the south.
Just to explain: Yunluo calls the visit to the area of Piazza di Spagna, the Tower of Venezia, the National Museum of Art and the Olympic Stadium the "Montjeic" tour, and on the second night of Barcelona (that is, today, the first night was the night I arrived at the Barcelona train station at 10pm yesterday).
Yunluo and Yan Shenyu only visited the Plaza de España and the bullring, and watched the Venetian Tower and the National Art Museum from the observation deck of the bullring, and then continued to visit the Venetian Tower, the National Art Museum, and the Olympic Stadium after a day of walking on the third night.
However, for the sake of the coherence of the post, I will bring forward the travel notes of the following night to the present, and connect with the next night, so that everyone can see the complete tour guide of the Monjeic district.
Well, the Montjejk district tour continues.
Just south of the Venetian Tower, the Magic Fountain and the National Art Museum of Catalonia are not far away, and the Via Maria Cristine is lined with council rooms and exhibition spaces.
The most impressive thing in the Montjejk district is the Magic Fountain. In the evenings, artistic performances are performed using a changing combination of water, colour and music.
