Hi David,
How have you been? It’s really been ages since I last heard from you.
I’m really stoked that your friends want to come to my area to learn about its past and
I hope I can give you a couple of tips.
If your friends want to see interesting places and learn something about Barcelona,
they should absolutely swing by La Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló where they can
get tons of info about one of Barcelona’s most famous people Antoni Gaudí and
modernism.
In terms of getting around I would recommend grabbing= buying one of the tourist
tickets for public transport because it doesn’t cost the world and you can simply
jump on = get on all the buses, trains and even the metro, or your friends could rent
a bike as everything’s close by in the city.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope your friends are going to have a blast = have fun and
drop me a line if you need anything else, OK?
Have a good one and catch up soon.

Best wishes,
Phill
