Reflecting on Barcelona

Reflecting on Barcelona two day trip cannot justify a city as diverse, interesting, historical, beautiful and artistic as you.
Hasta la Vista Barcelona!!

Font Majica de Montjuic

Arrived Friday evening in a strange city. What to do with so little time to spare. Thanks to VT & planning ahead let the adventure begin.
Loose yourself in the magical water, music & light show.
Sit on the palace steps mesmerised with the sheer beauty & excitement of the city

Ornate buildings spring forth

Saturday - walk or take the bus tour. Still uncertain of the city - bus wins. The tour Guide has spoken of two thousand years of history in the Gothic Centre. Time to get off the bus.
Walk through history
Walk through tourists
Walk into a Festival - celebrate
Walk into a Concert de Santa Eulalia - encore!!
Walk through life - Barcelona style.
The journey has begun.

    Barcelona certainly has considerable number of tourist attractions to explore especially from famous Gaudi's creations. Thanks for sharing. Certainly bring back fond memories of our trip to that city several years ago. ~ho & pang

    Yes, indeed. Madira island is a good place for walking. I am just back from Barcelona. You have seen so many things in a two-day trip there. Montserrat pleased me very much.

    I remember a fantastic aquarium and somebody playing violin near the cathedral. Here I discovered my first parillada of sea food.

    You've captured a lot of this lovely city for so brief a visit, both in your words and images :)

    Brings back memories of a lot of time I spent in Barcelona in the 1960s. I see that in your postcard travelogue you did not include the famous one of Barcelona covered with snow. I was there that day in December 1962. (By noon it had all melted.)

    Barcelona looks like a great city with interesting architecture. I have to go there someday. BTW, just back from Djibouti & Yemen.

    I like the new additions to your Barcelona page! We were there for one day only so I know you're right about trying to compact everything into a short time--we concentrated on Gaudi's work.

    Barcelona sounds to be a lovely city and I'm really looking forward to my first visit next year. I'm happy I will be there for a week as there seem to be so many things to see and do. Great tips Joan!
