Adding to Sander's last post of Barcelona, we saw many sights...Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia, the gothic quarter with it's cathedral, the Picasso and Miro museums, and of course a stroll down La Ramblas. Jacob's favourite spot: Parc Guell, Nick's favourite spot: Miro museum on Mont Juic, Margaret's favourite spot... ditto Jake and Nick, Sander's favourite....walking down the ramblas and around the port at night, Hans' favourite, the gothic area.
We made a trip to the village of Vilafranca del penedes to visit our friend Rosana, whom we hadn't seen in many years. We enjoyed our lunch together and our tour of the village. Thanks to Ross, Carme and Neil for hosting us in La Garriga. We had great food, very "typical" Catalan, as Carme would say.
After we left La Garriga we stopped in Figueres to go to the Dali Museum. Of course it was quite a spectacle. Then on the way back to France we took the coastal road. It was very scenic, a bit scary at times... steep narrow road, hair pin turns, sometimes with the sea right over your shoulder. Very exhilirating! (a short clip)

Fun to see you guys in some of my old haunts. I'm with Jacob about Parc Guell--I lived close by there for a while and it was one of my favourites. And those Parker-Sanchez are good folks--glad to see you hooked up with them...
Continued happy and enlightening travels. Hope to see you on the west coast of your old country some day...
