48HRS on the exquisite Mediterranean

by morgane1692 - last update: Jul 4, 2003

Barcelona's main thoroughfare

Looking northwards up las Ramblas from the top of the Christopher Columbus monument...this is surely the street on which to do your people-watching! All sorts of shops and restaurants and street performers and tourists are here, but you know where there are crowds so are there pickpockets and other troublemakers. Just keep your belongings close to you, keep all of your eyes open, and you should do just fine!
The streets of SF, Catalunia-style!
After a miserable first afternoon in BCN, running around, trying to replace my left-at-home plane ticket to Paris, ending up with a spot on the Sun night overnight train there...my 2nd day in town was right out of a storybook or film script. A personally-guided stroll around town, a seaside lunch, and this hike up to the remarkable Parc Guell, who could ask for anything more???

did somebody say they needed to buy a chicken?

well, here you go...right along the central median-of-life on Barcelona's Ramblas!

Pros:"Three words: THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA!!!"
Cons:"hotels w/o a/c in the summer!!"
In A Nutshell:"The perfect way to spend an extra couple of days btwn Madrid and your Paris destinies!"

 I went to Parc in the heat, that hike put me in a foul mood. I'll have my new BCN pics up very soon. Jem

 You are 100% right about Sagrada de Familia (although it's not "in" to say so). I liked your comments on my page.

 Honest narration with enough personal flavor to make it great. Topnotch photography.
