Whenever, wherever, Shakira will always remember her time in Spain. In an emotional post to Instagram, the Colombian singer paid homage to the city in which she raised her children with ex-partner Gerard Piqué.

She and her two sons Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, are moving to Miami. "I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world near family, friends and the sea.Today we begin a new chapter in pursuit of their happiness," she wrote in a post translated to English from Spanish. "Thank you to everyone who surfed alongside my many waves in Barcelona, the city where I learned without doubt that friendship is more lasting than love." "Thanks to everyone who has been there to cheer me up, dried my tears, inspired me and made me grow," she wrote, referencing the challenging year she has endured. "Thank you to my Spanish fans who have always surrounded me with their love and loyalty.

For you, this is just a ‘See you later!’ and like my father said so many times, ‘See you around the curves!’" Shakira and Piqué were together for 12 years before splitting this summer.

Piqué previously played for FC Barcelona before retiring last fall. View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Shakira (@shakira) "We have signed a custody agreement," the two said in a joint statement provided to Fox News Digital in November.
