 La Ramblas-  the marble and tile paved pedestrian street that is the beating heart of Northeastern Spain.  It stretches from the center of the city to the harbor, and now into the harbor with an entertainment center reached by a pedestrian bridge which is an extension of the mall.  On the way out there we saw sharks circling some carp under the bridge, and the big ferry to Majorca left while we dined outside under the stars.
CATHEDRAL     BUILT IN XII & XIII Centuries,  facade  completed XVIII Century

This church is very mysterious- full of delicious surprises.


This is a 'boss' on the ceiling way up.
