🎨🛹 Barcelona's Modern Art Scene: A Fresh Perspective!

#summervacay
Since recent events have made new travels difficult, I've been diving into old memories. Friends often joke that if I'd been more diligent in sharing my past adventures, I'd be a travel blogger by now! But honestly, there are some places I've visited that were so incredibly beautiful, I selfishly wanted to keep them just for myself.

Anyway, Barcelona is a city I first visited a decade ago, back when I was a clueless teenager exploring most of the major famous sights alone. So, when I returned this past February, I was determined to have a relaxed weekend getaway and completely avoid the typical tourist traps. No Gaudi, no Casa Milà, no Sagrada Familia – this trip was all about the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA).

It's a shame that most visitors only come to Barcelona to see the grand architectural masterpieces, often overlooking the city's vibrant development in modern art, especially within such an excellent architectural space as MACBA.

I particularly loved the juxtaposition of the surrounding old town buildings and palm trees with this striking modern structure. And out front, there were so many young people skateboarding, adding to the lively, authentic atmosphere. It was a wonderful way to experience a different side of Barcelona, away from the usual crowds.
