Barcelona at night is glistening right now. With all its holiday lights illuminating the streets, the city was beckoning us to come out and enjoy the Christmas glory. We intentionally left at late afternoon and waited for dusk to set in to see them turn on. And as soon as it hit 6pm, the city was lit. Barcelona instantly because an urban winter wonderland (minus the snow). You definitely heard some oohs and ahhs. And soon after, people started to take out their cameras and smartphones to snap shots of the nocturnal glow of the city.

¡Qué agradable pasear por las calles céntricas de Barcelona!. Por la noche tiene un encanto especial y si es Navidad tiene un plus. Está muy bien recogido ese ambiente en las preciosas fotos de Justine.
