After a week in Berlin, we transferred our moveable feast to Barcelona. The big Christmas holiday in Spain is Three Kings Day on January 6. With Ethiopian Christmas on January 7, we are getting the most out of our holiday season this year.
In the new city
In a small square near our apartment
In the old city
Barcelona is a beautiful city full of the most eye-popping architecture (see also my post on Gaudi)
and fabulous art (think Miro, Picasso, and Dali)
Mosaic by Miro in the road
My kids refusing to act like adults while in (very long) line for the Picasso museum
Picasso Museum. Sorry, no photos of the art.
and interesting history
Christopher Columbus sailed from here
The Capitulations of Santa Fe, which outlines who gets what when Columbus comes back with riches
In the old city
and – you know what I like best – delectable food, especially of the piscine and porcine types
It is a curious and eccentric place. It’s one I’ll need to come back to again someday.
