The weekend was fabulous.
Barcelona is an amazing city, the trip was too short (with too long travelling hours) but it felt as if we were away for a much longer time.
A few highlights:
* lunch in the sun under palm trees (at Placa Reial, and in January!)
* cava and oysters as a start of a gorgeous dinner
* Barcelona views from Parc Guell
* dancing and drinking at La Paloma; or, how a ballroom dance event for 40+ aged Barcelonites changes into a packed techno-night in seconds
* and much more: Sagrada Familia, Fondacio Joan Miro, Barri Gotic, El Raval etc etc.
* oh and, on the flight back the sky was clear blue and I spent ages gazing out at the French Alps... Tall mountains, all completely snowed under, breathtaking views that went on forever.
To keep a bit of the Barcelona feeling, I'll be starting in Carlos Ruis Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind.
(and I hope to have pictures up soon too!)

great to hear you had a good time, thought about you having fun while i was hitting the (study) books :-) Look forward to your pics!! And now it's back to the real world, grmpf
How can a weekend be enough?!:)My Dutch friend who has been to Spain before recommends me to spend at least one month there...:P
BTW, if you are fond of dancing, you can try Ibiza, have u been there before,I wonder?
Me too, looking forward to your fancy fotos!^^
As I don't have a digicam myself I'm dependent on my friend, but hopefully she'll email soon :)
Bonny, I would love to spend more time in Barcelona! There's so much to see. One disappointment was that some of the Gaudi-houses (La Pedrera and Casa Batllo) were both closed for maintenance on exactly last weekend. Ah well, just another reason to go back once.
Spain is now definitely a top place on my list of places to go. I'd love to go for about four weeks or so in late spring (May-ish sounds good), rent a car and tour around... Hmmm. But first some other places in Europe! :-D
