Fighting for a place in the sun on Spanish beach
Time passed quickly for reading information about the amazing Spain. Soon we were in our hotel room. The children and I most like to bask in the sun and swim in the sea. It is wonderful beaches that Spain is famous for in the whole world. They are more than 1700 - the sea and oceanic, continental and island, sand and gravel. Spanish beaches are very diverse. Among the long beaches that are open to all wind and waves one can see small private secluded coves where the water is heated by the sun all year round. And there is something between an open shoreline and closed bays. Beaches of the country are an ideal place for water sports like jet skiing or sailing catamarans. A well-developed infrastructure of the beach allows to rest by the sea with all possible comfort. So we have a starting first on the beach. Tourists on the beach were too much. Despite the fact that the beaches are in each city, the place is still not enough. We decided that it was better to come to the beach early. Then we can find a better place. Little sunbathed and swam, we went on a trip to Barcelona. This is the second most populous city in Spain, the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia and the same province. Old Town can be divided into three parts. The oldest part is the Gothic Quarter. From the Gothic period residential buildings and burial are preserved near Via Laetana. The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and St. Eulalia, the Chapel of St. Lucia and the church of Sant Pau del Camp (XII century) survived from the middle ages. Montjuic hill height 173 m is located near the seaport. Hill got its name because of the location here of the ancient Jewish cemetery. Beautiful views of the city and sea are from its hilltop. Montjuic is one of the largest urban parks in Europe (203 ha). Park «Maze» located in the area of ​​Horta-Guinardo. In the territory of the park combines two different styles: the Park of the XVIII century neo-classical and romantic park of the XIX century. The most attractive for tourists is a maze - one of the main elements of the park. This is a very romantic place. There is a tradition according to which many lovers meet here.
