Embarkation day in Barcelona
... an afternoon exploring the ship we sat down to our first dinner in the restaurant. We were joined a little later at our table by another middle aged couple who turned out to be French, with very limited English so the conversation was slow and animated but very friendly. So our suitcases are unpacked in what will now be our little home for the next 9 days and it really feels like we are well and truly now on ...
Nationalism and Architecture
... incredibly large and iconic buildings meant to generate a certain image to the world.

Modernista Neck
... I´ve never seen a church like it ever. It is a clever reworking of a Gothic church and might be finished in my lifetime if I´m very lucky. At the moment projections stretch out to 2040 plus.
- Park Guell: huge park where Gaudi died trying to complete it whilst living on site. Rolling Gaudi-esque fences carry you throughout this urban oasis. Mad.
- La Pedrera: Probably my favourite with crazy roof filled with windy pipes going up ...
