SATURDAY APRIL 18TH BARCELONA - WARM AND SEVENTY DEGREES

Once again we breakfast at Pans and Company, Jake says the hot chocolate is the best!! Today we spend wandering La Ribera, narrow streets of unique Barcelonian architecture: churches, apartment buildings, shops, markets. We stopped at the Mercat de Santa Caterina for brunch - another gorgeous food market with places to eat. The waitress rubs our toast with halved tomatoes which approximates the tomato jam I've come to love at Pans. This must be a Spanish/European thing and I like it! Interesting and unusual people stop for a bite, some for a drink(!) and we happily munch and watch. People watching is fun! I believe we spent the rest of this day walking and exploring La Ribera but I can't remember and Jake's notes stop here so.....I will have to check with my travel companions and recreate the dates; we left Barcelona for Belgium around this time, perhaps Sunday morning.
Barcelona I hope to see you again.
