- popular opinion: It’s magnificent.
- my opinion: It’s kinda lame.
- them: It’s heaven on earth.
- me: It’s rainy in February.
- them: The city is so beautiful, Gaudi masterpieces on every corner.
- me: It’s a congested city, with very little architecture of interest, and Gaudi is extremely overrated.
- them: Gaudi was a genius.
- me: He was a great engineer, but a lame artist. As an architect he doesn’t hold a candle to Calatrava.
- them: Barcelona is the greatest city in Europe.
- me: Valencia is a lot more beautiful and interesting, Barcelona has few avenues and streets to see.
- them: Camp Nou is a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
- me: It’s nothing too special if you only take the tour, Stade de France is a lot more impressive.
- them: The weather is delightful.
- me: Winter in Barcelona is roughly the same as winter in Norway.
- them: I would gladly see Barcelona and then die.
- me: The hype is ridiculous and the city is a big disappointment.
- art lovers: Joan Miró is exquisite.
- me: Very gifted for a six year old, why did he retire so young?
