If you want to see a goose in Barcelona, just go to Cathedral's cloister. It is a quite curious circumstance to find fowls inside a gothic cathedral... Si quieres ver gansos en Barcelona, basta con que vayas al claustro de la Catedral; es un detalle por demás curioso encontrar aves de corral en el interior de una catedral gótica...
