    Traveling While Black

    I studied, lived, and worked here over the course of two years. I experienced a lot of micro aggressions and stares. I was, unfortunately, also asked for sex especially walking through El Raval. The food is okay. I’d stay away from the touristy areas if you want good paella. Menu del día is a thing which is nice because you get three courses for a good price.

    There’s a better beach than Barceloneta but it’s in Badalona, if you’re willing to take the metro ride. Bunkers is a good place to get a good view of the city but it’s also a bit of a climb. Air quality is really bad because the city is small and overcrowded so take a mask. Experience might be a little different as a tourist than living there while Black. It is not somewhere I’d want to live again as a Black woman.

    Traveling While Black

    The infrastructure is nice. We walked all day & night, looking around the city.
    I wouldn’t be interested in going back. It’s not my favorite place.
