I turned my back on the Columbus monument and walked up La Rambla the way I had come.
A late night reveler (?) stops to use the bathroom at the Pension Reial
Now there are people in the street and I have no concern for the safety of my cameras
It seems everyone has a balcony in Barcelona. My kind of town!
No driving for me on this vacation....
I think this is an outdoor art exhibit or just someone with a lot of white tee shirts to dry
I knew Barcelona's famous Opera House was down here somewhere...
A photo of the auditorium was in the window and would be as close as I would get on this trip to seeing the interior.
The Opera season would start later in the week, after we had gone
No taxi for me. I am enjoying the walk.
Alas the famous La Boqueria food market was closed on Sunday
I thought that instead of following La Rambla all the way I would cut across to the East to find Passeig de Gracia so got to see some of the side streets
Cool art on a clothes shop shutter
Accidentally I stumbled upon Barcelona Cathedral in a square
Moving on...but just one look back
Every building was a new discovery
I found Passeig de Gracia...
Once I see Casa Batllo I know I am only two blocks from the hotel. Already a line at 9 a.m
The luxury shops next to the hotel
"Home, Sweet Home" for two days
Next up- coffee al fresco and a tour of Gaudi's amazing apartment complex La Pedrera...
