and so to Barcelona we went…on our way to spend time with Deb Westerberg in France.
Deb gave me the name of a guest house in Barcelona and a great suggestion it was. Slap bang in the middle of the city, with a lovely view of the city streets from our balcony
and very close to Las Ramblas and Plaza de Catalunya. No matter how much of a tourist trap Las Ramblas can be, it’s always worth a wander through. The sites, the smells the food and characters are all terrific to experience
and let’s not forget the drinks and sweets
Just makes you want to climb in and feast, doesn’t it …and this market is there every day of the week selling lovely fresh produce.
November 16th : This has been waiting for two weeks to be finished and published. I have a valid reason why it isn’t, which includes a stay in hospital and I will go into that very soon.
I sometimes think the gods are really testing me here 🙂
For now: TO BE CONTINUED
I went to that market, on my ramble of Las Ramblas and all the back streets. Absolutely fascinating. Kari used to live in the streets on the right side of Las Ramblas. He took us to a workman’s bar there for lunch – for E16 each, we had a 3 course meal and glass of wine. Excellent food. Loved Barcelona.
