January 21, 2005 It is -18 deg. C.( 0 deg. F) outside, the Raptors are losing, and there are no other BB games on TV so my mind has turned to Barcelona, my favourite city of those we visited on our Med. Cruise. Barcelona is probably the most modern city in Spain, and is the most expensive to visit. Hotel rooms in the central city, in reasonably good quality hotels start at E95.00 per night.La Ramblas struck me the most interesting street I have ever been on. It is a wide street with a central walking corridor between the 2 lanes of traffic. It is the only street that we were on that had more locals than tourists, even though there were tons of tourists. The incredible variety of living statues, from artistic to very creative and funny, create a vibrant environment for the endless shops of various kinds on either side of the street. We walked this street, from end to end, twice in one afternoon and found more interesting thins to see each time.

And, one of the most important things about Barcelona (at least to me) is that it has one of the BEST restaurants in the world (OK, this is according to me also, but I'm not kidding): the Botafumeiro. Check out this post of mine where I write about it.
