Barcelona & Antoni Gaudi

Barcelona is on the coast of the Mediterranean less than an 2 hours drive south of the French boarder. Along with the night life, Barcelona is well known for the unique buildings. Many of these were designed & built by Antoni Gaudi. He is well known for not using straight lines, & having lots of flowing curves.
This is a rather large city, so you should plan for at least a 2 day stay. Catalan Spanish is the primary language spoken here. The fresh seafood is a wonderful treat.

My traveling companions, Denis & Robbie, in front of ''La Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia''. Note the Angel on left with group of people (mostly children) around her.	This Angel kissed me when I put coins in her basket.
Robbie got this shot of me (Rusty) & Angel.	I was facing the sun, so the Cathedral appears dark.
Small carvings of Saints above the doors to the Cathedral. Note that they are all different.	Close up of a Saint above the doors to the Cathedral
I heard this wonderful music & turned around to see these musicians playing. As I was donating coins to them, they informed me that they were selling their CDs.	I bought only 1 CD & now wished I had bought more. ''Implora'' by Freddy Galindo & Michael Babinchak
Next we found the ''Palau de la Música Catalana''. Built by Lluís Dom è nech i Montaner Some restorations were being done, so my photos were a bit limited.	Side of ''Palau de la Música Catalana''
