Slow Spanish Tour of Barceloneta Neighbourhood ｜ Super Easy Spanish 140

Have you already heard of the Barceloneta? I recently moved to live in this neighborhood. And today I want to show you all the secrets I've discovered here. Come on! To talk about Barceloneta, we absolutely must talk about the sea. Always, no matter the season, you can feel the sun on your face. And that is why many people take advantage of the space to exercise. The most common sport is jogging along the sea. Behind me is an iconic building in Barceloneta, and it's the W Hotel. As you can see, it has the shape of a candle. because it truly represents the sail of a sailboat. On the beach, there is a delicious sensation in walking barefoot on the sand. As you can see, there are also volleyball courts. In summer, the beaches are full of people and equipment ready to play and compete. There's something particular about training on the beach. People want to train at the beach But they also want to be seen training on the beach. Behind me there's a gym where exactly that happens. This might be a bit curious. But right here there is a statue of Simón Bolívar. It reminds me a bit of my home, because he was the liberator of South America. This statue was donated by the government of Venezuela to the city of Barcelona. Behind me, we have a beach shack, or what we call in Colombia a little kiosk. the place where you can buy your snack while you're at the beach One very positive aspect of Barceloneta is its green initiatives. Right behind me, we have exactly a green point. It is the place where people can dispose of their household appliance waste. batteries, used clothing, and also used shoes We also have many graffiti on the murals and walls of the neighborhood. But sadly, a recent law banned graffiti tours in Barcelona. One very nice thing about living in a neighborhood is also living in community. And behind me here, we have the garden and vegetable plot of the neighbors in this neighborhood. They also do gardening here. You can't skate here. I'm sorry, Juanjo. Today's video allowed you to learn many new words. But how can I memorize all those new words?

Now let's continue with the tour. Another iconic and very picturesque feature of Barceloneta are its narrow streets. and their very tall buildings. One thing I really like is seeing clotheslines full of hanging laundry. It's a bit like private matters become part of the public sphere. La Barceloneta is also characterized by having its flag hung from balconies. People feel very proud to hang it up. And it's also very rich to be able to eat at every corner of Barceloneta. Behind me, we have an iconic tapas bar. This street, bordering Barceloneta, is extremely touristy. It's full of not-so-authentic restaurants. And people love walking here to see the luxury boats. Here we are in the Barceloneta market square. The place where all the neighbors gather to shop at the bakery and the fruit shop There are also ping pong courts and games for children. And moreover, it is a historic place for the neighborhood. because it was bombed during Franco's dictatorship. We conclude our tour here in Barceloneta Square. next to the church and the fountain, and many restaurants where you can sit.
