Exploring Barcelona and Beyond

Hello, my name is Carlos, and last summer, I went to Barcelona on a trip with my family. There are many places to visit. The most used means of transport is the subway. I went to the Sagrada Familia, visited my cousins, and watched the Barcelona vs. Madrid match. It was the best day of my life. The party was great with my family. After the game, I went to Valencia. It was a very nice experience. I want to go back to Barcelona.
