Sarah loves photography and always travels with her camera. Last month, she visited Barcelona for the first time. She arrived early in the morning and felt excited. The city was beautiful and full of amazing architecture. She walked through the old streets of the Gothic Quarter. The morning light was perfect for taking photos. She stopped at a small café for breakfast. An old man was reading a newspaper at the next table. 'May I take your photo?' she asked politely. He smiled and said, 'Of course, go ahead.' Sarah captured a wonderful portrait of him. After breakfast, she went to see the famous Sagrada Família. The church was even more impressive than in pictures. She spent two hours photographing every detail. The colorful windows created amazing patterns of light. A group of tourists asked her for directions. 'I am also a visitor,' she explained with a laugh. They decided to explore the area together. The group was from Japan and spoke some English. They shared tips about the best photo spots. Sarah learned about a beautiful viewpoint on Montjuïc hill. She took the cable car to reach the top. The view of the city and the sea was breathtaking. She photographed the sunset over the Mediterranean. The orange and pink colors filled the sky. After dark, she walked along the beach. Street musicians were playing Spanish guitar music. The atmosphere was magical and romantic. She found a local restaurant for dinner. The waiter recommended traditional paella. 'This is the best paella in the city,' he said proudly. Sarah took photos of the food before eating. The dish was delicious and full of fresh seafood. The next day, she visited the famous La Boqueria market. The colors of the fruits and vegetables were incredible. She bought some fresh strawberries and local cheese. A vendor let her photograph his fish stand. 'These are the freshest fish in Barcelona,' he told her. Sarah spent the whole morning at the market. In the afternoon, she walked along Las Ramblas. Street performers entertained the crowds. She captured a photo of a living statue. The man stood perfectly still for several minutes. At the end of her trip, Sarah had over a thousand photos. She could not wait to edit them and share her adventure.
