This is the view from our Barcelona hotel apartment balcony. It is located in a more local non tourist area. Very few people around seem to speak English. It made for an interesting dinner experience when we ate at a family run restaurant and sampled a variety of tapas including octopus, squid, cod, shrimp, pork, mushrooms, and a few others. Everything was delicious. And, of course, we had to sample a pitcher of Sangria. Surprisingly, even Malinda found it to be to her liking (oh..oh..watch out Spain -:).
