barcelona is beautiful. for how famous the city of barcelona is globally...it's just a small coastal city with wide streets and great food. the gothic architecture is classic and well kempt and the infuses culture or specifically gaudi into everyday life.
i regret not going inside. but the heat and the hoard of chinese selfie sticks really turned me off from buying tickets. i got this photo at least...and la sagrada familia is in it's final stage of construction....100+ years of building...a slow and urgency free way of life balanced by the sodium from the sea and from the tapas.
and then there was the parc guell. gaudi's park which they say the alice in wonderland design has full functionality....that is if most of it wasn't under construction. or the line to go up the museum didn't take forever. 8 euros...i felt jipped.
casa batilo is much nicer at night. and it's right near a great tapas joint. cervesceria cataluyna. go for breakfast. flauta's are mini sandwiches....and its a great morning bite. along with a coca cola.
cathedral...the violinist started playing vivaldi when we got there. and i immediately was thinking of
l'arc de triomph....
the fountain...
entering the gothic quarter...
there's a jamon bar nearby....
girona...
