My dear Barcelona, city of heroes and heroic deeds,

city of enchanting light, of charming beauty which transcends unimaginable barriers.

My city of shattered dreams, new beginnings and restored hopes.

My city of loss and disappointments, of unfinished challenges and unfaded prayers.

My companion of new beginnings and multiple ends, disagreements, and reconciliations.

The witness to so many stories of adaptation, inclusion, and growth.

Tales of loneliness, uprooting and nostalgia were told before your eyes… yet, there are still so many blank pages to be written.

Glorious city, brave, rebellious…. and always magical beyond belief.

Never mind from which side I contemplate you, you are just enticing from every single angle, from every corner.

My dear Barcelona, I smile because I keep seeing your magnificent beauty in my dreams.

And I still smile because I dream and will forever be dreaming of your light.

T’estimo Barcelona
