La Rambla is one of the main streets through Barcelona. It is always busy and bustling, there is never a dull moment. On our last day we walked down there and encountered a horse and carriage parade to celebrate the feast day of St Someone(?), the patron saint of animals, which involved lots of sweet throwing and collecting, much to the childrens delight, then a few minutes later, a peaceful protest against, something or other, with banners, and whistling and shouting. Very exciting!
We made friends with a few of the locals down there.
There are beautiful quaint shops.
And lovely flower stalls and art stalls. We purchased a piece of local artwork, a watercolor of La Rambla to take home, to join the others on our wall of travels.
So, in summary, I would like to live in Barcelona please, I would like to live in a Gaudi designed house, take Spanish lessons and learn Flamenco dancing. I would like to ride my bike and sit outside this cafe every day, on the beautiful cushions, and drink wine from 10 o clock in the morning. Yes, they do, I have seen them!
Alex has even found me a nice little renovation project.
Thank you Barcelona, we will see you again next time!
Love
