In the summer of 2019, my closest high school friends and I traveled to Spain for one last hurrah before parting ways for college. We had been planning this trip since our freshman year. Our friend, Lia, was from Barcelona and went back every summer to visit her family. We would see wondrous pictures of the city and hear her relay the adventures she had every year when she returned. We resolved to travel with her and see those sights ourselves one day. The dream finally became a reality the summer after graduation and the trip to Barcelona was the most magical two weeks of my life.
