I spent my time in Barcelona with a friend from high school. Michael goes to school at St. Andrews in Scotland but is spending the semester studying in Barcelona.
Here are some photos taken from around the city.

There are pools on the roofs of student housing in Barcelona and saunas on the roofs of student housing in Sweden. ha.

We walked down the the ocean, just a 20 minute walk form where Michaela is living.

| The Mediterranean Sea!! |
The Picasso Museum is free on Sundays so Michaela and I popped in before dinner.
The building was beautiful as was the work. It was amazing to see the wide variety of Picasso's work all in one spot.

| Bull Fighting Arena |

| Plaza de Toros |
Many of the building had ornately decorated facades.
We strolled through the food market of course.
Meat. Chocolate. Fruit.

These are just a few shots taken from around the city.
Be sure to check out the posts with pictures of Gaudi's work and another post of some of what was consumed in Barcelona.
These photographs are so beautiful and the buildings and architecture so outstanding I could cry. I'm so happy you will have all this beauty to remember.
