 The terrace by SirRichard
One of them is the Cathedral, so I think it won't be hard to find (I can't remember the exact address). Leave a Comment

 just another street, but
a pretty one by yelyah99
It's not hectic like Las Ramblas, but it's more real, more natural and much more rewarding. Leave a Comment

 Art and Food Fair at the Placa
del Pi by dlytle
Near here the Bar del Pi is an old style cafe where artists and bohemians hang out.
On the weekend, there is an art fair and food market centered in the areas surrounding the old church. It is a really neat place to see and look around for both art and area crafts and food.
The small street at the end of the Placa del Pi is Calle Petritxol., a nice spot to sip a hot chocolate--a 'suizo' is with cream-- 'churros' (a donut-like pastry) in one of the many typical old cafes. Leave a Comment

We were strolling around to find interesting place. Then we find a nice courtyard and stepped in. How lucky we were! We find these:
I learned that this building is Palau del Lloctinent. The sculptures seemed familiar to me. I'll keep searching.
The shiny spot on the picture is a hand-shaped. People cannot resist touching it. This is why it shines. I am not sure there is some kind of superstition in this case.

 Old buildings, new
buildings and
rennovations by dlytle
Its area extends roughly from the Rambla to the Placa Nova. This is where the Roman Barcino colony was founded in the first century and whose roman wall dates back to the third century. Perhaps the period of the city's greatest splendor were the 13th to 15th centuries, in which most of this Gothic Quarter was built and today contains many of the city's most emblematic buildings.
The Barri Gotic offers everything that Barcelona's Modernista architecture and l'Eixample do not. Streets in this district are very narrow. Its narrow, winding streets were not the products of careful planning and rapid execution, but have developed out of centuries of architectural and cultural mixing, from the early Roman through the medieval Romanesque and Gothic periods.
Although sunshine hardly finds a place here, it is one of the city's best places to stroll. In the Middle-Ages, this neighborhood used to be encircled by the city walls. Big efforts are being made to prevent the deterioration of this quarter.
This area is best enjoyed by wandering slowly and paying close attention to your surroundings. Nearly every street has at least a few interesting historical sights and an endless array of shops, eateries, and cafes. Leave a Comment
