Three Arches

This is the very top magic fountain with a view of the MNAC: Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya on Montjuic.

Facing the other direction, you can see Plaza Espanya and Las Arenas.

Parc de la Ciutadella

Parc de la Ciutadella is a giant green space in our neighborhood.  On Sundays in the spring almost every square inch of grass will be covered with picnickers.  It has been one of our favorite places to sit, relax, and chat with friends.  A must see!

Still Useful

I am amazed at how old much of this city is, especially coming from the US.  It still surprises me to see things like this electrical panel cover on the street that looks so old, but likely still serves a purpose.


This is a working water fountain where people fill up water bottles, or hydrate their pets, yet it's so old, beautiful, and artistic.


I feel fortunate to be in a city that is embracing its artistic and beautiful past, rather than trying desperately to modernize (although the remnants of those efforts can also be seen throughout the city).
