When summer rolls around, everyone holds their breath, hoping for that one of a kind summer vacation.
The scent of sunscreen permeates the air while the hot summer haze induces the perfect combination of lethargy and romance. Girls stroll around in massive Gucci sunglasses and tiny bikinis while perfectly bronzed men in tantalizing, oh-so-low swim trunks make an appearance near the beach.
If home’s not doing it for you, why not ship out to Barcelona to get that much needed summer tan?
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Coast, in Catalonia, Spain, Barcelona is an amazing city with a mix of electric people. Composed of thumping beats, amazing shopping, and a distinct cultural background, Barcelona is a must visit on every Maniac’s list.
Take a stroll down the famed La Rambla Boulevard. The mile long road composed of fortune tellers, flower stands, dancers and musicians is an exquisite opportunity to experience Spanish culture at it’s best. Drink local vino (try Priorat, Prenedes, or Emporda) from the grocery market, and make sure you pick out some spicy sausage and some pungent cheese to go with it! Flamenco your heart out at one of Barcelona’s many nightclubs. Shop around the hometown of popular stores like Zara and Mango, and visit Picasso’s birthplace. Explore the beaches that have made Barcelona one amazing summer destination.
Go out and have a blast. What are you still doing here?
