#bensroombcn

In the last 10 years, I've lived all over Barcelona. From Sarria to Gracia, from Pedralbes to Eixample. Whilst residing in those areas, El Born was a place I would visit occasionally and enjoy weekend walks around after lunch. El Gotico I knew nothing of except that there was a cathedral there and El Raval was a place that people would get their phones and bags stolen. I moved to El Born over three years ago and the novelty of the unexplored village fast wore off; I became too familiar and unappreciative of its charm. Now, living in El Gotico, I wonder how I ever lived anywhere else. A stone's throw to El Born, I now that wandering explorer once more which extends to El Gotico where there are a thousand different routes home. This is the most beautiful part of Barcelona and, until you live here, you have absolutely no idea. ✨✨💖 #Barcelona #bensroomBCN (at Gothic Quarter, Barcelona)

Sure, the days get shorter. And yes, the walk home is that little bit colder. But when the long warm inhales are replaced by faster, crisper breaths, you start to realised that your body; your brain were hungry for this. You start to focus on your surroundings as you communicate from the outside in and not from the inside out. Absorb these autumn and winter evenings because they're marvellous. My walk home is full of burning tones. #Barcelona #ElBorn #bensroomBCN (at Passeig del Born)
