Our daily walks in Barcelona, inevitably led us to Catalunya Place on our way to Barri Gotic. Bronze Statue in Catalunya Plaza, Barcelona.Saviduria (Wisdom) by “Miguel Oslé. 1929” Once in Barri Gotic, the Gothic quarter, we marvelled at this ultra modern sculpture.  Protests accompanied it’s dedication in February 2012.  With the current state of the …

Protected by Unesco, the Mezquita or Great Mosque has had a long and interesting life. In 756 the Caliph of Damascus set up court and started building.  He built the Great Mosque on the site of a Roman Temple which had been converted into a church by the Visigoths. But alas the only reminder of …

Fridays are fantastic.  For one thing they welcome in the week-end, so  I like to find a photo of something fantastic to celebrate them.  Winding our way through the ancient narrow lanes was one of our favourite things to do in the Albaicin area of Granada, Spain.  The Albaicin is a collection of white washed …

We threw away the map in Barri Gotic – the gothic quarter in Barcelona – and became lost in the maze, fossicked in shops that stocked artistic and imaginative momentos, luxuriated in pastry heaven at Santa Clara with a wonderful coffee in hand (is there no bad coffee in Spain?) and walked mesmerised under this …

Like every market in the world, La Boqueria revolves around people.  Market stalls run by third and fourth generation marketeers, attract visitors from around the globe who take time out from Las Ramblas to ogle the produce, sample the tapas and fresh fruit juice, and rub shoulders with everyday Barcelonans. Fresh and salted fish and …

The Gothic Quarter, or Barri Gòtic, is a dense web of historic buildings and shady atmospheric squares nestled between La Rambla and the Via Laietana. As travellers B.H. and I are drawn to ancient places and Barri Gotic was no exception. The labyrinth of lanes is full of delightful cafes and littered with Medieval and …

Time for a fantastic photo. Why Fantastic? Two Reasons. No. 1 – It is a photo of a sculpture by a lovely Andalucian Sculptor we met on our recent trip to Spain.  Manalo. No. 2 – I found a lovely photo effect to compliment it beautifully!     I may need intervention – this could …
