Spain...

BARCELONA

Finally, we are at our last stop! Barcelona is a nice city. Although it is not as big as Paris and with no world-famour attractions like Eiffel and Pisa, I like the feeling that Barcelona gave me. First impression of Barcelona - 1) the roads are so straight and you can never see the end of the road, and 2) there are too many traffic lights! Haa.. well, that's beside the point of this pretty city.


Most important junction in Barcelona I think.






Near the habour. Do you know when we stand near the edge of the sea and look down, we can see fishes that are at least half a metre long?! And there are lotss and lotss of fishes in the sea even near the habour.

This is La Ramblas. Supposed to be one of the busiest streets in European Union. Has lotss of performing artists on the street - Magicians, Kung Fu, Statue-like figures... lots and lots of variety of performing arts on this street.


Below is a well-known architecture by Antoni Gaudi, the most well-known artist in Barcelona. Lots of architecture and buildings are designed and made by Gaudi.



Gaudi's building and lamp-post at the rooftop.


Another Guadi's work.

Below is the must-see church in Barcelona. Though not started or finished by Gaudi, he has contributed to this famour church architecture and design.





On the streets...
Some shots from the market at Barcelona, off La Ramblas street. Sells all sorts of food, both cooked and uncooked. Been a long time since I last visit a market!
Lots and lots of different kind of prawns!

See the cherries!

One small alley in Barcelona.

Feeding the pigeon while taking a rest at the roadside. Pigeons in Europe are well-fed! People just love to feed them at the road-side.

The last shot, the perhaps the most interesting one. We saw a naked man on the street! Only with his cap and bag, he walked along the streets of Barcelona with "invisible clothes" on! Seek quite a lot of attention and camera flashes from tourists and on-looker. It is hot in Barcelona.. but is it really that hot?!? I am impressed by his courage and confidence though. =P
