Its true, we did take a field trip to a cemetery about 45 minutes outside of Barcelona. As you can see from the photos it was actually quite a breath taking place. Literally breathtaking, the minute we got off the bus we were all a little overwhelmed by the stench of cow manure, there were a few jokes going around about it being the stench of death. But the reality of the situation was that we were all really disgusted to learn that in fact it was the smell of death that was plaguing our senses. It ends that these aren't your typical cemetery plots, but they are actually built into the earth and stacked on top of each other in such a manner that they are open to the air in an attempt to assist in the natural process of decomposition. As beautiful as the architecture is it was incredibly hard for me and most of my classmates to fully enjoy the experience due to the slightly depressing nature of a cemetery.
