Roaming Las Ramblas

Arrived in Barcelona and after an early lunch, set off to stroll the streets of Barcelona. This is a vibrant city with its colourful markets complete with fruit, m eats, fish and pickpockets. We avoided them all!


The streets were somewhat quieter…… is it the Spanish economy or have we just remembered the place at night when it comes alive? Las Ramblas is still one of the world’s great streets to stroll. We looked at art, street mime, flower stalls and people.

At the end of the street we gazed at the massive column with Christopher Columbus right at the top gazing over the harbour.

We celebrated Jeanie’s birthday with sangria at Happy Hour followed by a wonderful dinner at the Pinnacle Grill complete with birthday cake and champagne.

                                         At the Christopher Columbus Monument,
