1. I have been in Spain for 12 years now. I live in a quiet outskirt of Barcelona with other 50,000 people. 2. Among them we have Ronaldinho, the Brazilian soccer player of FC Barcelona and Lorenzo Quinn, sculptor, Anthony Quinn's son (one of his many children!). That's about it for the "People" section of this post... 3. Barcelona has 1.5 million inhabitants but this number increases to more than 4 million if all outlying areas are included. 4. I have always lived in "million" cities, except for the time I lived in the US, some college years. 5. I see the Mediterranean Sea every day. 6. In fact it takes me less than 15 minutes to walk down to the beach. 7. The problem is to walk back up afterwards. 8. I seldom drive to go downtown Barcelona. 9. I take the train. 10. Which brings me to the heart of the city in 25 min. 11. And for less than 1 euro one-way. In price included is also Nr. 12. 12. This is the view coming out of the train station in Paseo de Gracia, the Casa Batllo: ![]() 13.

You see the sea? Wow, that is truly awesome! LUCKY!! My 13 are up!
Gaudi is my absolute favourite architect. Barcelona is one of my favourite cities. How lucky you are to be so close!
I hope the 13s will still go on...I've only been doing them for 3 weeks, and they are such fun!

I had no idea Barcelona metropolitan are was so large. Thanks for a very interesting TT.
Also, thanks for stopping by my TT.
It sounds like a great place to live!
I have my 13 up too with an amusing muse theme.
I couldn't imagine living in a city with Millions. The half million in the Treasure Valley area is a bit overwhelming.
My Thursday Thirteen is up.
Wow - beautiful! You are very lucky!
Thanks for stopping by my TT!
Sounds like a beautiful area. I'll be back to look at more pics. My thirteen are up too.

Very interesting list and you live close to the sea, I envy you. Thanks for stopping by my site. Even though this is your last TT I'll still stop by. Have a wonderful day...
.over from the other Michele's
I'm going to have to see if I know 13 things about where I live. Chances are I won't as we have only been here a month, but it should be fun exploring!
:)
My daughter spent a summer in Spain and after viewing all her pics and hearing the stories...I wanna go!!
How lucky you are!
My thirteen are up!
Good reading, Mar. Where are you from originally?
Beautiful pictures!! Living so close to the sea, is paradise I'm sure! You are very lucky!
Happy Thursday!
Less than 15 minutes from the sea?? Lucky you! It sounds (and looks!) like you live in a very beautiful place!
My 13 is up.
woo hoo! I'm glad you changed your mind about this NOT being your last T13!
I saved all the templates to a word document since they said they are taking them down! Did everyone do the same? I hope so since we can keep it going!
Oh and after I came back and read you... I just have to say that I think it is soooo cool to be in the US and read someone's Blog in Spain!!!! I feel like I can travel without ever leaving my computer!!!!
Happy TT ... What beautiful pictures and a beautiful place to live.
Oh by the way Iam a morning person so I dont need coffee.
Hugs Suz
