Love is in the Air

People talk about how Paris is the most romantic city on earth and while that may be true in some respects, I think the Spaniards can find any occasion for romance, at least in Barcelona. Be it the metro, the plaza, a fast food restaurant or more mainstream, the beach or a park, it’s been really interesting to see how much affection there is in this city.

Wherever I go, it’s hard to not to notice the lovebirds because old or young, people are either kissing or more commonly, holding hands or hugging tightly. From 70 year olds to teenagers, I have to say it’s quite sweet to see such genuine affection last throughout the years.

I’ll leave my thoughts at that before I get even more sappy, but I had to share yet another observation from this land I’m living in many, many miles away :)
