Cultural Activities
Carnaval in Sitges
Sitges celebrates non-stop during the liturgical season with Carnaval. My friends and I decided to attend on the final Tuesday. There was an eclectic mix of outrageous costumes, constant music and parade after parade. We got to Stiges by train which happens to be much of the extent of my photographs. My friends and I to joined in the debauchery and dressed in costume as Indians, a devil, a matador and many other silly things. 

Olympic Museum 

Located on top of Montjuic, I was able to see the remnants of the '92 Olympic games and visit the museum. It was great to actually be able to put somewhat of a face to the games since we were talking about it in class and how it literally changed the whole city. Not only did I learn about sport in society but I was able to learn more about how they changed the city of Barcelona. 

Restaurants
Restaurant Masia Fontscaldes

    This was the restaurant that we stopped at on the way home from Valencia and had Calcotes. Personally I loved the experience given that I am not typically a person who tries a lot of new foods, but I had to try this Catalan experience out, and I was pleasantly surprised (although I enjoyed the Romesco dipping sauce more then the onions). 


Cerveceria Catalana

When my roommates dad was in town he took us to this restaurant and it quickly became my favorite place to eat tapas in Barcelona. We ordered many dishes including spanish tortilla, a cheese covered in peanuts and my favorite (pictured) pimientos de padron. In this dish it is said that about 1 in every 10 peppers is hot.
