Barcelona - more than just mojitos...
...in fact, we had some pretty delicious caipirinhas as well!
Given that a picture says 1000 words, I'll let these ones do the talking on the four days I spent in Barcelona at the end of last week...

We had such a fantastic four days in this wonderful city. I was appalled and embarrassed at my lack of Spanish though. "Que cierra la por favor" plus a big, honest, friendly and hopeful smile saw me through a lot luckily.
WOW! Amazing pictures! What beautiful buildings and architectural details? Did you find any sewing inspiration there?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen - it's such a beautiful, vibrant place it's hard not to get at least one good photo!
ReplyDeleteIf anything, I was inspired about colour. The plants were in bloom and there was so much desigual stuff being worn that colour was everywhere!
I hope you're keeping well :-)
