La Boqueria is the famous market in the middle of La Rambla in Barcelona (Rambla no.91). The market is really old and looks very nice -  I found it’s opened on March 19. 1836. (St.Joseph day). First this market was flower market because La Rambla remained exclusively for flower stands. From …

Monday in Spain,Got up at the reasonable hour of 10am today, the weather didn't look promising so I figured why rush out of the house? Had an authentic "Spanish Coffee" (I'm calling it that because I made it in Spain) which consisted of condensed milk, as there was none of the fresh vairety in the …

Next couple of days we spent in Barcelona, just walking around, checking the singing fountain, spending some time at the beach. I took a loooong walk to the Forum, did some shopping, wandered on my own a lot. The weather was fine, I didn't even have to put on jacket in the evening...

My almost weeklong trip to Barcelona, sadly during the off season, but still great! Wish I could have used Spanish more, but they don't speak it as much there! :-P The dates are also screwed up in this album, I will try and fix that when I can get to it.

La Rambla was filled with street performance and this guy on one hand was one of many that performed for a lot of people who stood around watching with smiles and amazments. My son was taking lots of photos of most of them haha i think i might have about a 100 photos of just acrobats jumping around…

Back in Barcelona, Betty was eagerly awaiting my arrival. She really missed me, she said, and I missed her too. So I went to Llavaneras with her that day to spend some final time together. She made arroz negro (rice with octopus ink) for lunch and taught me how to make gazpacho, accompanied by …

Barcelona, such a beautiful and cosmopolitan city, I adore it! Impressive modernist architecture, great museums, and delicious food! I always go back there and I always found something interesting to do when I'm there.

While I was in Barcelona with my friend Jacob I also had the luck that my friends David and Inge were passing by the city on their two weeks holiday in Catalonia. We had agreed upon finding each other where else than the Placa Real, and here we found ourselves enjoying the street artists doing thei…

Barcelona was one of my favorite cities to visit. It's beautiful, clean, and you can see the works of the artist Gaudi everywhere. I would definately recommend a day at Parc Guell, designed by Gaudi, because it's completely different from anything you've ever seen. There are also several Placas to visit with lovely architecture and fountains and such. Barri Gotic is a section with old gothic architecture buildings....nothing to be missed.
