I first visited Barcelona in 1980, and then again in 1991. At Aaste's request I put Barcelona on our itinerary for this trip. She did not need to twist my arm. I loved this city the first time I visited it and each time I come, I renew that infatuation. Every time I visit I swear I will one day come here for an extended stay so that I can really get to know it. Maybe next time.
Barcelona is modern and bustling and gothic and artistic. It is a wonderful blend of old and new. It is clean and it's people seem happy and content. What's not to love? Well... possibly (but not entirely) the unbelievable amount of motorcycles! Certainly not the 2 Euro bottles of fine red wine!
I will post pictures soon.
This blog chronicles a 10 month period of travel that I took with my 13 year old daughter in 2007/08.
