Barthelona

Barcelona is composed of tightly woven narrow alleyways. Its quite different from Madrid. Its a little scummier. theres a lot of graffiti. people are a bit more bohemian.


I paid a visit to the museo de xocoa. All things chocolate. one thing i learned was that chocolate arrived to europe through the sea ports of barcelona. the museum is funded by the Ecola de Patisseria.


Baercelona is an up and coming bike friendly city. The presence of bike here are not appreciated by drivers or pedestrians. some streets have designated bike lines. but they can be on the left or right side of the street or some cases right down the center of a side walk. No one has the right of way here. you just have to watch where your going. there are bike stations spread throughout the city. they are only used by locals who can access them by setting up online accounts that withdraw funds from their bank accounts for renting the bikes.



On a walking tour of barcelona through the life of picasso we were taken through an art district.

Barcelona, much like Los Angeles in that its pretty flat surrounded by the ocean and mountains. Perched on top of a mountain, is Castell de Montjuic. You can hike, bike or drive up or take the Teleferic, which is a cable car that lifts you up and gifts you a birds eye view of the city.
