"WHEN SCHOOL DRIVES YOU FROM NORMANDY TO SPAIN" Barcelona by jakiline

BARCELONA VIEW from PARC GUELL

The driving by coach was tiring, but we experienced the crossing of the border:
we left winter and rain on the French side
we met spring and a warm welcome on the Spanish/Catalan side

the road back to Normandy was quiet: sunshine in our heads, smiles on the tired faces, to meet rain again
"hasta luego"

ANTONI GAUDI (1852-1926)

Creativity or Philosophy?
He said:
"Todo sale del gran libro de la naturaleza"
and there's no need to translate, for in my opinion, all languages are in Nature, so make an effort, please

When you go to park Guell, enjoy this wonderful outdoor museum

Shopping...

"En el Mercat de la Bocqueria":
you can't miss it when you start walking Las Ramblas

do not hesitate: it is fresh, tasty and cheap: beautiful strawberries, hot peppers, so plenty of various vegetables!
and dont miss the delicatessen corner of "productos ibericos"(jamon)

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:spring is a nice season to go there
  • Cons:without kids should be better
  • In a nutshell:nice place to be when you emerge from hibernation
