ciudad multicolor

Barcelona in color.

The blue of the sky and the sea.

The green of the trees, the parks and the innumerable urban jungle balconies.

The yellow and black of the taxis and the red of the buses.

The pink of of all trees in bloom and the blossom carpets on the pavement. (we even came across a 'pink' greyhound dog)

The bright colors of the waving laundry, balloon vendors and street art.

And obviously the myriad colors in Gaudí mosaics...

barcelona revisited

First spring days in Barcelona during the Easter weekend.

Day one - Good Friday - 30982 steps on my iPhone pedometer.

Even after celebrating Henk's birthday no less than four days, we actually did not want to go home and got homesick on the way to the airport.

We've enjoyed the delicious food (mostly tapas) consumed at Orio (El Gòtic), Golfo de Bizkaia (El Born), La Botiga (Eixample), Teresa-Carles (Raval) and several times at Bar Lobo (Raval).

We've enjoyed everything that came our way during the long walks through the city, towards the Macba, Casa Mila, La Sagrada Familia, Olympic Stadium and Barceloneta beach.

All districts have their own atmosphere and everywhere there's something to discover.

At the end of the afternoon just lazing on the beach for a few hours.

On our way back to the Praktik Rambla hotel, at some sidewalk cafe with a drink, we often were daydreaming about living in this vibrant city.

I mean, where in the world, you're walking on Gaudí pavement?
