We visited the city on a small group tour with David, a fine guide and driver, who kept us well informed and entertained. He told us about another guide who, at a bar, exhausted after leading months of tours, suggested that Sagrada Familia be bombarded into dust from the cannons of Montjuic! I think some others of us may sometimes have felt a similar level of frustration at work.
After a short stop in Pals, it was on to the Costa Brava, and the Mediterranean.
Sadly, unlike Valencia, it was too cold for Mary to get her feet wet here.
I was on the lookout for beachfront property.
Not too many fixer-uppers on this beach. Pretty decent view, though.
Here's the lighthouse above the beach and a ufo hovering to the upper left.
The view from the lighthouse.
The sun was low when we returned to Barcelona, tired and content.
