Answer 8

El otro día por la noche visitamos "Santa María del Mar"/ la catedral "Santa María del Mar" porque Lonely Planet recomienda verla.
La otra noche visitamos...

"Santa María del Mar" is a wonderful cathedral in an area of Barcelona full of amazing restaurants and pubs. Everybody that goes to Barcelona should visit it (the church and all the rest). I highly recommend it, the atmosphere is so lively, cosmopolitan and sophisticated that you get in a few hours a shot of life and beauty.

Hi Gus
I am just curious with reference to your home page. You say your native language is "Spanish" but your "Spanish Level" is intermediate. How can this be? Surely your Spanish level would be fluent or have you made a mistake'

Muchas gracias, Dunia, eres la mejor para decir eso, seguro.

He estado en Barcelona varias veces...pero no he conocido esa zona. Una pena, ya que una vez estuve y nos pasamos horas buscando una zona donde se pudiera tomar tapas.

Answer 11

No mistake was made. I left my the old country 48 years ago. When I was in the third year of elementary school. In the US I never worried y about Spanish because most of my friends were non Spanish speakers. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I began to speak and write in Spanish, for business reasons. It is incredible to me, how much Spanish I know even though I never studied it. Spanish words just come to me out of nowhere, it is incredible.
