Barcelona City of Angels

Not that I ever counted all the angels in Barcelona! I just wanted to use a poetic license to honor my city and what better than this angel you can admire right after you leave Sant Jaume square on your way down Carrer de la Ciutat. You will find a small set of stairs to your right and voilà.

Contrabass Player at Barcelona Cathedral

This contrabass or double bass player was part of a small band performing in front of a group of sardana dancers. The place is the square facing Barcelona Cathedral or Santa Eulalia Cathedral (video). If you check blogger labels below you'll find other musicians or instruments featured in Barcelona Photoblog in the past.

Pirena Dog Show: Boxer

A photograph of a boxer during a dog show taken from my archives. To be precise the animal was participating in a race along with other dog breeds and the show was part of Pirena 2007. To get a better idea about when this happened and what Pirena is please check my previous post: Pirena 2007

For local travel in Barcelona I recommend TMB information (Barcelona bus and metro) Mobile App (Google Play Store , ApkGrabber). Barcelona is not a town you want to leave. From the capital of Catalonia you can make a number of one day trips, for example to Costa Brava or you can climb the Muntanya de Montserrat.

If you're looking for some entertainment, you can either go to the Salou amusement park, 100 kilometres away from Barcelona or to the town of Sitges, only 40 kilometres away and famous for its film festival and the carnival.
