The Experience

I almost missed the meeting spot at Arc de Triomf because I got distracted by a street musician — he was playing something that sounded like flamenco but not quite. Our photographer, Marta, just laughed and waved me over. She had this easy way of making you feel less awkward about being late (or about being in front of a camera, honestly). We started off weaving through the Gothic Quarter, where the stones felt cool under my hand and the air smelled faintly of coffee from some tucked-away café. I tried to pose but ended up just laughing when Marta told me to “walk like you’re late for churros.”

We ducked into alleyways I’d never have found alone — one had laundry strung overhead and an old man watering plants on his balcony who gave us a little wave. At the Barcelona Cathedral, there were tourists everywhere but somehow Marta found angles that made it look like we had the place to ourselves. She’d show us a shot on her camera and I’d think, “Wait, is that really me?” There was this bridge everyone called ‘the most Instagrammed in Barcelona’ (I still don’t remember its real name), and yeah, we stopped there too. Marta explained bits of history in between snapping photos — sometimes switching to Catalan with locals passing by.

By the time we reached St. Mary of the Sea Cathedral, I was actually enjoying having my picture taken (which is rare for me). The light inside was soft and golden, and outside there was this faint smell of baking bread drifting over from somewhere nearby. In Ciutadella Park, kids were chasing bubbles near the fountain and someone’s dog nearly photobombed us — which would’ve been fine by me. We finished at Arc de Triomf again, sweaty but happy, and Marta promised to send our photos in a week. I still think about that walk sometimes — how it felt like seeing Barcelona through someone else’s eyes.
