Barcelona
I recently returned from a short trip to Barcelona, on the northwest coast of Spain. We managed to fit in a lot visiting in only a few days! Staying near the Las Ramblas meant I was in a nice central location, being near the restaurants, shops and many of the sights to see. A place where the architect Gaudi is well-known, you can see some of his creations such as the Sagrada Familiar, which is still a work in progress. As well as the typical tourist haunts, just about every building in the area had character and beauty, so I took any opportunity for a wander around with my camera, quite often early in the morning before it got too busy and the light was great. Even on the last day, I was up and out by 6.30, and caught the sun rising above the Mediterranean! I'm putting some of these and others for sale as reasonably-priced prints on my website, so if you like what you see and have a place on your wall that needs filling, you can buy them here .
