“Mes que un pais: More Than a country” is a travel blog aimed to capture the many facets of Spanish culture that we have experienced in our travels throughout the country. The audience aimed for this blog is college students, especially students involved with the Miami University Doblios European Center Summer Program. The personal narratives presented portray mainly the Catalan cities of Barcelona and Valencia, each city capturing a unique cultural identity stemming from their regional allegiance. The entries below are written by college students currently concluding their seven-week study abroad program. The accounts presented capture the tastes of Spain, especially focusing on the famous cuisine of Catalan culture and the abundance of market life. The diaries next describe entertainment tourism, including Barcelonian nightlife and the Ramblas, and the beautiful beaches that flood the Spanish coasts. In addition, the blog captures visual tourism through the renowned architecture and famous collections of art found in both Valencia and Barcelona. On a more recreational note, the final entry includes Football Club Barcelona and the significance of the team beyond the sports arena. The hope of this blog is to guide future students traveling to Spain with information that is useful and will supplement the overall travel experience.
