Barcelona II





The first picture was taken at the train station Barcelona Franca, it is an old bar from the 1960s, closed down and photographed through a glass door, the arches are actually in the main hall behind me. A little sign next to the door showed a bow tie and reminded me that back in those times people dressed more formally and perhaps more nicely.
2 - How do they maintain the plaster?
3 - Font that was hard to read. Gracia
4 - A medieval painting, part of a cycle depicting a story of a saint. Taken in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. One would think that it is a smaller collection of regional art. No. Although it does sometimes relates to the region, it is mainly a grand show of beautiful works.
5 - Cathedral.

Nice photos all around, but I am particularly fascinated by the building with flowery plaster. What a lovely facade!

Incredible! My brother lives just in front of this bar! He used to work at this bar for the "festes de Gracia". El mundo es un pañuelo ;)
