It telling about place that I want to visit. I'm going to tell you about Spain and about city there Barselone.
But if you ask me why Spain? I said that this country very beautiful and bright. This country like other Europian countries has own history. Another reason why I want to visit this city, because there are carnaval festivals in Barselone and another Spanish cities. And there is a popular football team in Barselone.
I like this country and city because its they have anotheк people, another mentality, another rules and etc.
