In 2013, I had a fortune to visit Spain - the country of my student dreams.

I'm a Ukrainian young woman passionate about traveling. A strong desire to get new experiences and knowledge, inexhaustible thirst for adventure, and competence in two languages (English and Spanish) drive me to travel. Traveling is a true philosophy of self-improvement to me. It is not only an interesting way to pass the time, but also a highly important aspect of my identity that allows me to discover something new, change my worldview, and develop myself.

Casa Batlló

Another masterpice of Antoni Gaudí.

La Pedrera (Casa Milà)

All buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí make anyone believe that he was a true genius.

Barcelona

Walking by the Barcelonian streets...

In Barcelona

Approaching the Gothic Quarter - an old part of the city.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia

This cathedral was being building for 900 years!

Walking in the Gothic Quarter

Many buildings seen in the old part of Barcelona city witnessed horrors of the medieval age including millions of deaths from hunger, cold, diseases, wars, and the Holy Inquisition's сruel methods.

Columbus Monument in Barcelona

The discoverer of the New World should be honored.

Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family

The most monumental and famous masterpiece designed Antoni Gaudí - the most fascinating architect in Catalonia and the whole world. The Roman Catholic church cannot be seen without building cranes. It seems that its construction will never end. The Barcelonians joke that the building of the Sagrada Família will be finished when apocalypse will happen.

In the Poble Espanyol

This amazing architectural museum demonstrate 117 full-scale buildings from all Spanish regions and provinces. In other words, it is a mini-Spain in Barcelona.

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

One of the most beautiful sights in Barcelona.

The Barcelonians and the guests of the city may enjoy the real show every week .

Evening fountain show in Barcelona

Sounds of music, colorful lights, and fountain jets create a romantic and delightful atmosphere.

Orange tree

These citrus trees have become an inherent part of Spanish urban interior. You may see them everywhere - in the streets, squares, and сourtyards.

In Port Aventura theme park

I had always dreamed of enjoying the true amusement park, so I could not lose an opportunity to visit this place created for fun and adrenalin rush. I tasted five attractions which I will never forget about - it was amazing!

Furius Baco in the Mediterranean region of the park

The blue construction you may see on the photo is the part of the most wild attraction I have ever experienced in my life. 135 km/h for 3,5 seconds - Furius Baco is one of the fastest attraction in the world.

Dragon Khan in the Chinese region of the park

A red construction is a roller-coaster that follows its extreme root with eight sharp loops.

Shambala

Another attraction in the in the Chinese region of the park is the Europe's highest roller coaster, a white construction on the photo. The most breathtaking moment is when you make a move in a downward trajectory flying 76 meters.

El Diablo in the Far West region of the park

A kind of American roller coaster without sharp falls and rises. Nevertheless, wild shakes and rattling sounds re-create the atmosphere of the Wild West, where you rush in the train along the railways with planted bombs that unexpectedly explode.

Hurakan Condor in the Mexican region of the park

This attraction imitates free fall. With the 100 km/h speed, you fall from the height of 130 meters.

In the Polynesian region of the park

The most esthetically beautiful part of Port Aventura to me.

The most wild and fascinating attraction park in my life!
