We spent a very short forty-eight hours in Barcelona, because how could we come this far and not visit, right? So we didn't get much more than just a taste, but was we saw we enjoyed.
I thought this was the prettiest city square I've ever been in, and I've been in some very pretty city squares. We ate here twice. And inexplicably took photos besides the garbage cans. Actually, almost everywhere we went in Barcelona had a faint smell of "afterparty," so it wasn't so bad.
We met some pretty cool people there.
There's a beach in Barcelona. It's beautiful, but the sand is sticky. Not in a good way.
Okay, so we did do one cultural thing: we went the Sagrada Familia. It was beautiful and very fun to photograph.. Here are some of my favorites.
