12 hours train Barcelona-Sevilla? Estás loca?

Si, si, I am! But when you are still undecided (sometimes lost) graduate student always searching for cheap options, there are no many variants to choose. So, expectation: would be hot, stinky and crowded almost 12 hours Barcelona-Seville train. Successfully getting many times label “crazy” from my Spanish friends I’ve got to this train and surprisingly it was not so bad. And the chance to see interesting landscape from the window can be always the reason to justify tedious distance. Despite the theme was highlighted about train I was sleeping almost all the time, so let me say a few words about magic of Barcelona.

Many words are written, tons of poems are created, and million films are shown about the phenomenon of Antoni Gaudí Casa and his tremendous architecture, about unique Sagrada Familia and enormous Park Güell where you can literally touch casa of Gaudi, or blessing city view from Fortress Montjuïc. So no need to repeat all those beautiful narrations but things which were around me my staying in Barcelona should be mentioned. Colors and sea-mountain core is the base of Barcelona. Impossible not to take off the eyes from old Catalonian houses with blue walls and red curtains, not to stuck in cozy tiny bars with tinto de verano and occasional flamenco sounds, not to get lost in Gracia area while of night riding bike., not to meet friends of friends in hidden bars of abandoned theater with the gypsum figure of Lenin in the center (btw weird) and finally not to enjoy the best Spanish concept-siesta.
