In the historical centre, very close to Las Ramblas, you can found the Barcelona Cathedral and next her Plaza de San Jaime.
One of the most atractive places to visit is teh beach of Barcelona there are around 9 all over the city.
Currently in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, because to the great received immigration during the past 20 years in all parts of the world, lots of languages are spoken.
Some studies talk of more than 200 different languages, but the vast majority of the population speaks Spanish and Catalan.
The city has a long and rich architectural history, starting with the ancient remains of the Roman settlement who founded Barcelona.

A View From India.

Ernest Hemigway: "Hills like white elephants"
-The Text is about a couple traveling around Spain. They're apparently carrying some issues because in the story the tlak about future, love and happiness. They're trying to resolve their issues about having a baby. In the text it shows the struggle of deciding between life and death. From my point of view I believe that this kind of situations are more conceivable in our times. You can see plenty of young women dealing with abortion. We need to go back to the basics: were human being was respected by who he was from the beggining.

A Bit Of Ancient Culture In Today's Society...

When we talk about culture we must understand it, from the point of view of history.
I'm about to mention what means the influence of celtics, egyptians and indian cultures in today's society.
First of all, the celtics legacy to the British culture are from their languages, craft to their abstract art.
We can see reflected their legacy in today's arquitecture, it is beautiful how far has persist through the years.
However the celtic culture is not mention as an important piece of influence in the British culture.
The conflict origin on Indo-European lands has been since the celtics arrive there, that's why in today's spanish society the dispute between "cataluñenses" and "andalucences" still in dispute
The ancient culture and the today's society has became into an enemy territory where no-one cares about what happened in the past or even research only to get an idea of their own origins.
We can't say the same in the Indian and Egyptian Culture because they has cultivated their beliefs, languages and religion.
There's a reason, and its beacause they were strong in his convictions as a civilization.
Their religion made them able of stand against conquerds and wars, left them in a position that you cannot change or moved, it is how it is.
Although the cristianity arrives in Indian and Egyptian lands, to conquered them, they resist.
Their legacy in today's society is beyond art, language or religion, it's about what they want it to their own people as a worth legacy.
To made them believe that it is worth to fight for what they think is right to die or live for.
