Savour the Diverse Cultural Experiences of Soulful Barcelona
Between the crisp sangrias and beautiful beaches, Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain but despite being a part of the nation, the city gives off a different vibe compared to the rest of Spain, making visiting Barcelona a unique experience even for the most experienced traveller in Spain.
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a region in the north eastern part of Spain bordering France. When in Barcelona, you will realise that most local information guides and signposts contain three languages: English, Spanish and Catalan which is mostly spoken amongst the locals.
Due to its history, Catalan would first appear to be a mix of Spanish and French, but …show more content…

The simple grid layout of the streets make walking about in Barcelona a simple and therapeutic experience.
And while you're on your feet, you must visit La Rambla (meaning the avenue). Sometimes known in plural form as Las Ramblas, it is a street in the central district of Barcelona which stretches over 1.2 kilometers (about 0.75 miles) .
The street, with its numerous street musician performances, is full of bars, restaurants and even souvenir shops, making La Rambla a bustling hub of activity filled with tourists and locals alike. Connected to La Rambla are several smaller streets (hence why it is sometimes called Las Ramblas) which connect the main avenue to several important areas within the city.
These include the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona (essentially the older part of the city housing several churches and cathedrals) and La Boqueria (a public fresh produce market that has been in operation since the 13th century), making La Rambla more or less the heart of Barcelona where you can get a taste of the city's local culture at its very best.

Tapas is a culinary culture unique to Spain. The food is often served in smaller portions and typically costs 3 EUR (3.35 USD) per dish and is more about enjoying the company of friends and sampling the many flavours of Spain than it is an actual meal (but that doesn't mean it's not filling!). And while tapas dishes are readily available throughout Spain, the dishes vary between regions.
In Barcelona, some of the must-try tapas (with a local twist) are: pan con tomate (toasted bread infused with tomato and olive oil), patatas bravas (deep fried potato cubes often served with garlic mayo and spicy tomato salsa) and especially jamón ibérico (Spanish cured ham usually from the leg area of an Iberian black pig), which is possibly the most typical local delicacy.
If you're looking at the many tapas bars in Barcelona and wondering where to start, a highly recommended tapas bar is Irati Taverna Basca, a mere two minutes' walk off the main avenue of La Rambla. Irati serves up delicious tapas in a rustic but classy environment and is a favorite of the

Don’t judge people on their outward appearance Have you ever witnessed someone or somebody judging a person just because of the way they look? In the book When Zachary Beaver came to town you witness the characters in the book being very quick to judge people when they really don’t know the person or have even talked to the person. Later in the book the people of the town have a change in heart and they realize that people are different then they might seem from the outside. I believe that the author was trying to get the point across to not judge and to get to know the person first before you make any assumptions.

“… the bread comes to be the measure of everything related to the business of living, it is a measure both material and mysterious; it measures scarcity and prosperity, the happiness and sorrow of humanity... appetite for bread unifies human beings as much as breathing and our flowing blood”, says the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral in her book Elogio de las cosas de la tierra about the fundamental importance of bread in Chilean culture, economics, and diet (cited by Montecino Aguirre, 2004: 19). Indeed, Chileans love bread. They consume around 100 kilograms of bread per capita, yearly. Chile is among the three countries that eat the most bread in the world, second behind France. Chicken and beer are also important on Chilean table.

It is true that Mexicans and Spaniards share similarities concerning language and culture, but there are far too many regional variations that make linguists say that Mexican Spanish qualifies to be a separate language, nonetheless, what does differ is that Spain’s political system is a Democratic government with an ‘international’ currency. Additionally, one can find a lot of Spanish influence in Mexican culture such as bull fights, foods like Spanish rice, and yes, Catholic Religion. Yet, it is easy to see the ancestral differences between Mexican and Spanish people due to their many different historical characteristics. Today, one difference between the two is that the Mexican political system is a close copy of the US system—at least on paper. However, the Mexican constitution provides only for a Federal system, unlike in Spain who recently has a revolution less than fifty years ago.

Strategic Planning Another area that was quite apparent during my interview with Tina was her use of strategic planning in both a managerial aspect, but also in a client based aspect. When asked about one of the most important things that she has learned in her position, Tina said, “Everything is subject to change” (personal communication, April 9, 2018). As Tina continued to describe her use of strategic planning, I was able to connect it with two important elements in the general definition of strategy, plan and perspective (Tschirhart & Bielefeld, 2012). Tina talked about the importance of having a course of action that can be discussed with the clients when they come to her for help. Tina expressed the importance that “There is not a textbook
