A typical street in the Old Town of Barcelona
Pintxos - I ate many of these delicious tapas!
City streets were very busy during the Festival de Merce...
...and the Parade of the Giants.
Live music stages were set up all over the city.
Fireworks in the street
Human-castle building is a popular event at the festival.
Impressively high!
And I had a front row view.
I checked out some of Gaudi's incredible and sometimes bizzare architecture around Barcelona.
Casa Batllo
La Pedrera
And the amazing Sagrada Familia Cathedral
The Cathedral's Passion Facade
The cathedral is still under construction after 100 years!
Gaudi's intricate Nativity Facade
The view from the top of the cathedral spires was worth the $2.50 and one hour wait!
And finally off to the beach for a swim...
...and the sunset from the waterfront
I could easily stay in Barcelona for another week but there is still a lot more in Spain to see!
