Chapter: Beach
Barcelona has amazing beaches, right? Have you ever wondered where did the sand came from? Well, this sand has travelled too, just like we did! While I have wings and fly from city the city, the sand arrived here on large cargo ships all the way from the Sahara desert.

Chapter: Antoni Gaudí
I love to fly over the beautiful roofs of Barcelona. And especially those created by Antoni Gaudí - the famous architect. Seagull or not, everybody gasps when they see his chimneys looking like warriors, and the dragon-like tiles or little houses looking as if they have been sprinkled with icing sugar.

Chapter: Human Towers
In Paris, there is the Eiffel Tower and in Barcelona, they make towers from people. How? Well, people in Barcelona and all over Catalonia compete in a special kind of sport. They climb on each other shoulders and form tall towers or castles, as they call it here. You can watch it during city festivals. And everybody cheers and celebrates when the human tower is complete.

Chapter: Eixample
Chapter: Sun and Rain
Although it doesn't often rain in Barcelona, people here have many ways to describe bad weather. Sometimes, when it hails it sounds like little squids are falling from the sky.
