The beach has played an important role in my experience in Barcelona. While in Chicago has the beach of Lake Michigan, it is not nearly as beautiful as the ones in Barcelona. It seems that the beach plays an important role in Spanish culture as well. Barcelona has had a lot of economic success, both in the past and now, because it is a port city which has promoted a lot of trade in the area. It seems common for Catalans to hang out at the beach on the weekends, either relaxing or playing sports like soccer or beach volleyball with their friends. There are also several restaurants around the beaches that specialize in fresh seafood which plays a major role in Catalan cuisine.
