All good things must come to an end, like my vacation in Mataró, Catalonia. For those who are wondering, Mataró is the largest town in the Province of Barcelona. It’s about 30 minutes North along the coast, and where I spent my summer last year.

Kurtis and I were fortunate enough to spend two weeks frolicking in the sparkling sea and stuffing our faces with delicious food. Since 14 days is a lot to recap, I’ll just throw up the highlights and some many pictures.

Beach Time

We spent almost everyday basking in the sun or floating around the sea. It’s a tough life, let me tell you.  Kurtis was even able to get a tan after almost a year of the non-existent U.K. sun!

We Modeled

What’s a vacation without some fire instas? Okay fine, it’s still a vacation……We did take advantage of the nice backdrop and our tanned skin to snap some shots of each other. 

The Sunsets

Our favorite past time of last summer was watching the sunsets, so naturally we continued this during the cool evenings. The sun sets behind the mountains leaving a hazy mix of pinks, oranges, blues, and purples behind.

Bounced to Barcelona

With Barcelona such a short ride away, you might think that we’d spend most of our time there. Wrong. I love Mataró. It definitely feels bigger than a town–more like a mini city, but without all the tourists flocking everywhere.

Barcelona is beautiful, but it’s honestly exhausting to walk around day after day. In Mataró, you have the beach (which is waaaaay nicer/cleaner/safer than Barceloneta), plenty of restaurants, a smaller (but still cute) collection of shops, and a handful of clubs to hit on the weekend.

I was originally going to make this one post, but as I already have a bunch of pictures up, I think I’ll continue with the highlights in my next post.
