Heading for chilly Oxford this morning (must pack!)
Just quick miniblog on Barcelona–
- Wonderful science museum; we spent 6 hours exploring and could have spent more
- Wonderful Gaudi buildings and magnificent buildings created by his rivals
- Wonderful narrow cobbled streets near Cathedral get cleaned every single day
- Wonderful friendly people, even the extremely trendy looking young staff of the wonderful Hotel Neri
- Wonderful food, especially crema Catalana, an improved (if you can believe it) creme brulee with the custard less heavy and the sugar top thicker
The picture shows Gaudi’s hugely ambitious Sagrada Familia, still under construction, with a busker dressed as Barcelona’s Columbus statue, and two tourists enjoying it all.
