“Barcelona was Perfect!”

That’s the conclusion of pop star turned travel writer Alicia Keys, who is now contributing occasional travel stories to the New York Daily News. “I just love the pen and the paper,” Keys recently told the Associated Press in an article about her new vocation. “I like to document what I’ve seen and what I feel.” Keys recently felt that Barcelona was perfect. Or as she put it in her Daily News article: “Another thing I fell in love with in Barcelona was the constant feeling that everything was absolutely perfect. The sun is blinding and warms you deeply; the water is transparent and shines with the sun’s reflection. The beach has the kind of soft sand that’s so good for running barefoot in. The architecture is grand and historic.” If all that weren’t enough to convince any New York editor that Keys is the ideal writer to chronicle her journeys for the city’s urbane readers, Keys then boldly asserted: “And it’s all there like a playground waiting to be explored.”
