An old building downtown, a couple of blocks from our hotel.
This is a government building that houses the Mayor's office.
We took a 4 hour bicycle tour of Barcelona.
This is an opera house in the downtown area that is said to have perfect acoustics.
Every city in Europe seems to have an Arc de Triomf.
A quick stop at Parc De La Ciutadella for a break and some information from our tour guide.
This is an historical building in the park.
Barcelona is a contrast between the new and the old.
This is the church known as the Gaudi Cathedral.
And as you can see, this is why we have the word "gaudy" in our lexicon.
Barcelona is a seaside town with some of the best beaches in Europe.
Lynda listens to our tour guide on a brief stop at the beach.
Here we are on the return trip from out tour.
It's not easy taking pictures from a moving bicycle.
One of the modern buildings at the beach area.
Our tour guide, Jordan, with Christy, who runs the bicycle shop. It was cold and rainy but he wore sandals, as he is from Australia and he never wore shoes there.
Our tour guide took us to a local restaurant for lunch.
This is a statute of Christopher Columbus at the start of La Rambla.
And where is Columbus pointing? To the new world, of course. This is the port he sailed from.
Standing at the base of the Columbus statute.
Lynda, back on La Rambla shopping for a scarf.
La Rambla during the day.
The ever-present street performers.
A quick stop at Placa Reial on the way back to the hotel.

The architecture there is beautiful. I especially liked the "W" on the top of the modern building. :) And nice pictures of you both on the bike tour. Thanks for sharing. :)
