Barcelona….
Yes, that is where I am headed. One of the great cities that I have never visited. Flight out of Newark on the 5th for a quick trip of only 7 days to spend time with my friend Jean. She has managed to rent the house on the Spanish coast north of Barcelona that she and her husband, Bill, used to own.
Highlights for the city:
1. The cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is defined by quirky art and architecture, imaginative food and vibrant street life. It has medieval roots, seen in the mazelike Gothic Quarter, but a modernist personality represented by architect Antoni Gaudí’s fantastical Sagrada Família church. Its restaurant scene ranges from fine dining to tiny tapas bars.
2. I have a couple days in the city as a solo traveler where I am staying at the hotel across from the famous old cathedral. Then I meet up with Jean on the weekend and stay at her rented house. Home in time for our 61st anniversary, next week.
