Barcelona




Arrived in Barcelona this morning. Totally unprepared, no map, only info from folks who have been here. Got the airport bus into town and walked down Las Ramblas to find my hotel. Teeming with people, seems to be a pet market at the top of las ramblas- you can buy a bird, rabbit, guinea pig or turtle on the street. I spent the afternoon wandering around - Barcelona is a great city to walk around. Loads of boulevards divided into pedestrian, cycle and vehicle areas, narrow streetS with Roman ruins, gaudi, Dali, Picasso, their own gherkin and arc de triumphe. So many mad buildings, the sagrada Familia takes the cake.
