Belagua

Appreciate the modernistas! All of them, especially Gaudi. Visit the Picasso museum, so you can see that he COULD paint in any style, but chose to invent a new one(co-founded cubism with Braque) Stroll the Ramblas from end to end, both by day and by night.
Do not fail to visit the Boquería market for a sensory overload on food! Eat octopus salad!Getting drenched in a downpour on the Ramblas at night...crying my eyes out in the museum part of Sagrada Familia as I saw what the place is really about...being there with Sarah in '89 and NOT staying at the pension next door to the 'New York Sex Club'
The guard with the sidearm at McDonald's saying that Americans are 'too trusting' and leave their purses in reach of thieves(OK, so I wanted a cup of 'regular' coffee!)See my Barcelona travelogue for more pix!
