A sunny day in Barcelona. Rain is forecast so we've decided to spend as much time outside as possible. We had our obligatory café con leche at Cafeteria Don Teo and met a woman from Boston who had spent the last seven weeks walking the camino de Santiago. She said she had met so many Australians in Spain, she wondered if there were any left in Australia!
We caught the Metro to Poble Espanyol. It was built in 1929 for an exhibition and is basically a 'fake village' in which the architecture, style, and culture of various regions of Spain are represented. It contains many artisan shops where you can watch the products being made - this is what we went for. We bought a number of handmade gifts for family & friends and some things for Mayfield Ave.

The following shots were taken on our walk home:

Before going back to apartment I payed a quick visit to Parc Guell - now 8 euro entry fee but worth it:
