The **Bunkers Barcelona Sunset Experience** is one of the most breathtaking free tours in the city. Located atop the Turó de la Rovira hill, the famous **Bunkers del Carmel** offer 360-degree panoramic views of Barcelona, a fascinating historical backdrop, and an unforgettable escape into both nature and history. Far from the crowded tourist hotsposts, this is the ultimate place to watch the **sunset in Barcelona**. #### A Window into Barcelona's Past The **Bunkers del Carmel** aren't just a viewpoint—they’re a piece of living history. Built during the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s, these anti-aircraft bunkers formed part of Barcelona’s defense system against aerial bombings. Their strategic location provided clear visibility of the entire city, maximizing protection. After the war, the bunkers and surrounding hill became home to a shantytown community, where many families lived in humble, self-built houses until the 1990s. This complex past is part of what makes the site so compelling: it tells a layered story of war, resilience, survival, and urban transformation. **What to Bring:** * Comfortable walking shoes (for the hike) * A camera or smartphone for photos * Water and snacks or a picnic * A jacket or sweater for cooler evenings * A blanket or something to sit on * And most importantly, bring your curiosity and sense of adventure. **Thinks to keep in mind:** * **📍 Meeting point:** Plaza Real, (Outside Kabul Hostel) * **🕰️ Starting Time:** 15h * **👶 Age average:** up to 10 years old. * **🐾 Pets:** Allowed. * **👟 Dresscode:** Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.

Welcome, readers! ❄️ Our December read is **_A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella._** A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella is a tender, character-driven novel that follows three people in a small Pennsylvania town as they each cope with loss and seek connection. Chuck, a widower, struggles to find meaning after his wife’s death; Ella, a young woman, faces the heartbreak of her missing daughter; and Kirsten, a veterinary technician, grieves her father while contemplating her future. Their stories intertwine gently, revealing how grief and hope coexist—and how even small acts of kindness can help people rediscover purpose and peace in the aftermath of tragedy. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! At this meeting, our third annual White Elephant book exchange will take place! If you'd like to participate, bring a gift-wrapped book that you already own. On the gift wrap, write the genre of the book. We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Thursday, January 15, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **Panera Bread, 300 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, across from St. John Arena**. We'd love to see you there!

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott
