Photos de Barcelona 1

Some memorable photos from my trip to Barcelona (July 31-August 15)


First two pictures are me in the Parque de la Ciutadella



Me at the fountain on the Plaza Real


Me in an inner courtyard of a former monestary now an art center for the University of Barcelona.

This summer in Barcelona, there is an exhibition going on: Barcelona back then. They take old photos, blow them up huge (as you see here on the Plaza San Jaime near the cathedral) and put them on the street so you can stand behind them for an odd effect of old superimposed on new. It's better to be there. Right here is a motorcade process with Generalíssimo Franco in the 1960's.

View of the Eixemple neighborhood from the Plaza de Cataluña.


The next two photos are in the Eixemple on Manzana de la Discordia, a block where there are several famous modernist buildings by Antoni Gaudí, of which Casa Batlló and Casa Amatller.
