We begin exploring BCN

 We went out for coffee to the place Bernie recommended. It was next door to Casa Batlló. The insta crowds were out in force. Not sure I have ever seen so many poseurs in a single place! Not sure one needs to have a video taken of "you in a fancy dress" surrounded by milling crowds all taking their own selfies or trading places for a shot of the building growing out of your head. But I am old. I'd prefer to share the sights and foods than photos starring ME because I am old I was raised not to think that I was the center of the universe.  #ancient #itisNOTaboutME





Lunch nearby, a beautiful old building (maybe once a market?) with several restaurants within the same beautiful building. We had a better than expected lunch, of chistorra, alcachofas, langostinos, gazpacho and paella mixta. All very good and welcoming service as well. Then we went to a nearby park before running an errand and heading back to the hotel to meet up with our friends.











In a nearby park - Our Lady of the ice cream cone. She's now my patron saint. 🤣❣️


Then we were off for our meetup before touring Casa Batlló with T&E and AJ and Bernie... manu many photos so it is a separate post.
