    Hi all,

    My husband & I just got back from a trip to Barcelona & what an incredibly beautiful city it is!

    Here are some of the intriguing alley ways of the Gothic quarter (Barri Gòtic).

    I love walking around towns and cities with streets like the ones in your photographs. You can almost feel the history beneath your feet and in the surrounding buildings.

    Oh, thank you so much for posting these photos! I spent a happy week in Barcelona, way back when I was in college and doing a year in Spain. Barcelona was unique, picturesque, and the Catalans were so friendly and kind. You captured all of Barcelona's best features in your pictures. I'm so happy to see that the city hasn't changed much.
    Again, thank you for resurrecting great memories . . . .

    @Cayuga Morning, Fabulous pictures! There is plenty of history in the walls of those buildings.
