Barcelona beckons

The Sagrada Familia
I would have been glad to just sit at a sidewalk cafe somewhere, people watch and feel the sun on my face. We escaped Paris for a few days to take in some sun and Barcelona did not disappoint. Did the tourist thing yesterday, the Barcelona Bus Turistic, Part 1.
Has early drinks at a lounge bar called Zahara near the Marina where we got a recommendation for Kharma, which was fantastic.
Loving the feel of the sun, and enjoying friendly Spanish hospitality- Mission: Savour Catalan Cuisine before we leave.




It was interesting seeing the Sagrada Familia which has been under construction since the late 19th century, with completion envisaged around 2026. There's the worn old stones at the botton, the newly installed near the top and the cranes. Fascinating!
