Barcelona…La Rambla…Parc Ciudella…Cal Pinxco

We slept in again – No judging please. This will be the first of three days here in Barcelona. It’s one of our favorite cities. We enjoyed breakfast in our room with the slider open to a bustling port. Folks leaving the ship and supplies being loaded.

This is a tower for the funicular to Mt. Juic. It’s right off our balcony. I love that Serenity is docked downtown at the World Trade Center.

Leaving the ship we were greeted with many familiar sights. The weather is wonderful- low 70’s – bright sunshine, with a very brisk breeze.

We walked up La Rambla, pausing frequently as Timmy searched for a Barcelona lapel pin. We bought postcards and stamps. Walking on this beautiful tree lined pedestrian street is a real treat in the off season. Very few tourists.

Timmy loves coming upon the living human statues as we travel. Here he had the opportunity to chat with a fellow as he was applying his makeup. Great fun.

Timmy found his pin😊

It was such a pleasure strolling along, not having to dodge tons of fellow travelers. Leaving La Rambla, we meandered down side streets…making our way east towards the Parc Ciudella. Here are some random photos.

So I parked Timmy and ran up and down some lovely streets taking pics. I love this photo of him patiently waiting for me.

I thought this was a cool storefront.

This intersection always reminds me of the Flatiron Building in NYC. I looked at the photo and said “Timmy, what the heck? There’s a bird flying across the shot!” His reply: “A dove for my love”.
