...because now I know where I am!




















...in Arc de Triomf there is a new map of the 'old' and 'new' Barcelona.  In keeping with celebrating the culture you can now walk all over the city (in a matter of minutes!!)

...because of the festival that celebrates the city...




















 ...La Mercé, the annual festival dating back from 1871 celebrates Barcelona culture, old and new.  The city streets and seas are filled with traditional festivities and modern tastes. 
Barcelona is a buzz!!!
