What could be better than a surprise weekend away in Barcelona?!
Instead of driving to Provence for the weekend (as I'd thought we were doing) we headed in the other direction towards Spain!
So I'm back re-energised by a weekend away in a big city. We walked and walked, ate lots of great tapas and drank lots of good coffee. Of course I managed to fit in a visit to Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion.
ah Barcelone !

ReplyDeletechristine - thanks. i can't believe why we haven't made it there before as it's only 3 and a half hour drive!
ReplyDeleteceline - i've lots of photos of the pavilion which i'll post :)
mr sekimachihato - me too! i still get VERY excited driving in europe. it blows my mind that i can drive to so many countries. i guess it comes from growing up on islands!
I agree: the cafés con leche in Barcelona are some of the best I've had!
ReplyDeleteThe first and the third picture are my favorites, because I like the geometric colors which compose them :)
