Half term and we escaped the autumn wind and rain for a couple of days, taking a short break in Barcelona. In summer, Spain is too hot for us Celtic types with our fair skin; however autumn sun and temperatures of 22-25 degrees suited us fine. So we enjoyed exploring La Rambla, the Old Town and the Port area. Didn't really do museums - teenager not keen - or see any of the Gaudi buildings. But lots of eating tapas, exploring the markets and people-watching. And a guitar music concert in a building which was decorated like a wedding cake. Will let the pictures do the talking today.

| The Square near our hotel: slightly dodgy area. Husband lagging behind us with bad ankle was approached by lady offering him a good time! |

| Walked to the beach. Teenager soaked her sore feet in the sea. |
 |
| Colourful market stalls. So many varieties of mushrooms. |

| The ornate ceiling of the concert hall. |
That looks like a lovely break.... I am missing those blue skies, and perfect temperatures. Shame you didn't get to see the Gaudi buildings. I hope your husband turned down her offer and limped quickly away! :o)
ReplyDeleteWe had a wonderful holiday in Barcelona a few years ago. Loved the Gaudi buildings - they were a bit hit with the teenager, but didn't get to see the beautiful concert hall.
