Sally Davies I've lived all over Spain, and there is no part that does not have something unique to offer, but when i first came to barcelona i was charmed not only by its medieval splendour, endless beaches and spectacular architecture - all of which is amply documented - but by its countless eccentricities. by its fibreglass giants, who stroll the streets seemingly regardless of the occasion. by its fire-breathing dragons, skittering perilously through the crowds. by its peculiar language, its folk dancing, its human castles. and somehow, without ever really meaning to. i found i had made it my home.
