People are Statues

La Rambla
This is the most interesting street I have ever seen ...

its surrounded by stores .. as you walk up the block (if you start at the beach) the stores get cheaper .. the quality of cloths is great and the prices are reasonable....

the smaller streets are bargaining shops for souvneirs and stuff ...

the block itself in the center has loads of restaurants ... and people who dress up for the tourists to take pictures of them ... they stand there like statues until you give them some money .. some are really very good

but be careful when it comes to the shams .. if you get wrapped up they will take your money by you handing it to them ...

also at night be careful ... I saw someones pursue get robbed .. a guy just ran up in the middle of a group clutched the pursue and ran as fast as he could .. so be careful with your valuables..
La playa

SUNNY DAYS

the weather is fanastic .. sun all day long ... i went in April so the water was still ice cold .. but it was just nice to walk along the rocks out into the water or sit on the sand ...

I didn't travel here to see the sites.... but I'm sure they have plenty of historic sites to visit..

I just stopped there, because my family was born in Spain, and I wanted a place to go and just relax and party :) (sry if I offended fellow spainards)

 We traveled all of Paris and Italy so when we got to Barcelona it was just for relaxing and partying .... SO sure I might of missed a few musuems or pretty sites... but it was seriously the funnest spot we went to. Thanks for the comment!
