BARCELONA, SPAIN

A fabulous RunnerBean Tour in the Barrio Gotic (Old City)

Back on those historic narrow, winding streets we love

 

The historic Jewish section

Narrow streets...

...suddenly a church

Always a castle or another church springing up somewhere!

Now that's a Museum to sink one's (sweet) tooth into...

We become familiar with the works of Gaudi, whose structures are found throughout the City

 Gaudi was described by his professors as either "a madman or a genius." You decide...

This photo shows a section of the roof top of the apartment building in the previous picture

Also part of the roof top design ..except for the fellow in the white hat....

Photos of Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece:  The Sagrada Familia. His goal was to represent the entire Bible.  Others are completing it

There is no way to adequately photograph it in or outside

Gaudi's Park Guell

Ahh, retired at last!

 

Imagine everyone in beatiful hats as we  "promenade" on La Rambla, site of their annual Easter Parade

We NEVER pass up an opportunity to ride a carousel

Tibadabo Amusement Park high above the City

Or pass up an opportunity to see a puppet show

 

 

A Church next to Tibadabo

A statue of Columbus...looking (out) for us...

Joan Miro Museum overlooking the City

National Art Museum, somewhat closer to street level

Love those narrow streets

You never know what you'll find to drink...

Or who might need a hat

 

One for the road...

...before moving on
