1. The weather is absolutely gorgeous (it was around 75 degrees--maybe even higher--the whole time we were there).
2. The beach is very easily accessible and is on the Mediterranean Sea, which is very blue and beautiful. :)
3. There are loads of restaurants that have outside seating, making a delicious meal of tappas and endless pitchers of Sangria even more amazing.
4. The city center is an easy-to-get-to locale, so no matter where you stay (even if, like us, it's in a hostel at the complete edge of the city), a much needed vacation of relaxation is not altered by inconvenient travel.
5. You can return from the trip with a healthy looking summer glow before everyone else :) (or like me, with a nice reddish tint and awkward tan lines).
6. You can visit the Dow Jones bar, where the prices of drinks fluctuate just like the stock market. When it crashes, everything gets really cheap, so run to the bar and order as many drinks in as little time as possible before the market begins to redeem itself!
7. See a view of the whole city in all its glory from the top of a huge hill. The climb for us was really enjoyable due to the great weather/need to work off the calories from stopping at countless eateries all weekend.
8. Experience the height of football season (a.k.a. soccer if you're from America!). We happened to be there for the game of age-old rivalry between Barcelona and Madrid. Barca won, and the city went crazy!!
