Barcelona Eye Candy

 

Walking the streets of Barcelona has been an amazing experience.  It is a modern city that is alive and full of people.  The old is juxtaposed with the modern.  I have limited access to the internet, so for now I will share some of the amazing architecture that I have seen.

I had to share these photos for those of you who know how much I love bicycling. Although I have been in other cities where there have been racks of bikes for rent,  I have never seen a stoplight with a green light for bikes.

    By the way, Happy Birthday a couple days late!
    Also, a few food photos would be appreciated by your "Foodie" friend!
