Barcelona





The impact of the streets and buildings are slightly less than what we have experienced in the smaller and older cities that we have so far explored. Never-the-less still pretty cool. Unfortunately not all city smells appeal to my nose, many of the drains have less than pleasant smells seeping from them. Reminded me a bit of India really and not expected.

Walked many places and worked the metro - very good system with maps all over the city enabling you to re-establish your location and direction. Also many signs directing you to specific areas.

Went up the infamous Le Ramblas - an impressive sight with a large tree-ed wide street (middle pedestrian access only) Heaps of people here dressed up - street theatre it may be called. But standing in poses and hoping for contributions from the spectators. We revisited this place the next day as well.
