This is just a glimpse of the lovely neighbourhood I walk through to class everyday. At first I thought this was the scariest neighbourhood in the world, needless to say I have been hit on by at least a few rude 16 year old boys here and there are an abundance of men. It actually is a very up and coming neighbourhood even though it is still home to a large immigrant and prostitute population. It is like Victoria Park in Calgary, it is on the verge of becoming very expensive and very trendy. This picture actually makes it look worse than it is as this isn't actually a street we walk down typically, but I am enamored with the quality of the deteriorating buildings here so I couldn't avoid snapping some pics. Unlike Victoria park though there are not drug dealers on every corner and it is actually quite a busy, safe neighbourhood. Maybe I should stop posting the real side of Barcelona or my mom might cancel her trip out to see me. Don't worry soon enough I'll post some of the sights.
