Experience the Ultimate Freedom – Welcome to Spain!
If you have ever wondered if somewhere in this world there would be a place so vast when it comes to the number of beaches that it will leave you transfixed, so sunny that you will begin to wonder if you have just stepped into the land of eternal summer, so unique and peaceful that it will make you wonder if you have reached Heaven, then it is clear that you are thinking of Spain. This place looks like it has been carved up to Heaven’s blueprint matching it with admirable grandeur. Every centimeter of this place has embodied within itself deep historical meanings.
La Pedrera, also known as Casa Mila is a wonderful historical building which was designed by Antoni Gaudi between 1905 and 1910, but it was officially declared finished in 1912. It was built specially for Pere Mila and Rosario Segimon, a freshly married couple. Located near the Casa Batllo, it stands after Sagrada Familia and The Guell Park, as one of the most visited works of Gaudi. The façade looks like frozen waves of stone and the windows are well designed incorporating wrought iron crafted in vegetal forms on the balconies. Inside this amazing building you will find marine decorations like furniture, ceilings and columns which are designed by the master Gaudi himself, and stand as very modern even in today’s fashions.
Another place to visit is The Montserrat Monastery. This unique monastery lies at an altitude of 1241 meters and it is situated north west of Barcelona, 50 kilometers away to be precise, deep within the mountains named in the same way. Reaching this place is no hard task, all you need to do is make sure you have enough gas in your gas tank, a little patience and you will be there in no time. This wonderful monastery stands as an imposing and meaningful pilgrimage place. Every year pilgrims from around the world reach this place in their quest to see and touch the statue of Virgin La Moreneta, which stands for The Black Virgin and is regarded as Catalonia’s patron saint.
If you like the sun and would like to stay all day enjoying it, you will be very glad to hear that Spain has some of the most beautiful and largest beaches in the world. You will be amazed of how smooth the sand here is and how peaceful and relaxing everything looks. You will be able to find the greatest beaches located in the Balearic Archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. While they are well known for the nightlife around the Ibiza beach, the Balearic Islands are sure to provide you with some of the best smooth sandy beaches you will ever set your feet on. If you find yourself in Menorca, you should probably rent a jeep so that you can have a complete experience of the island.
After being mesmerized by so many eye popping places, there is one more thing for you to do, and that is sitting down and realizing everything you have experienced, by just immersing yourself in the priceless memories Spain has carved in your mind.
