At this point we’re pretty used to the flow of landing at the new spot. We like to use the first day to do a big hike around the area looking for grocery stores, restaurants, sites, landmarks, beaches, etc. Logged about 9 miles today.

That stone wall protected the old Romain settlement of Barcino 1000 years ago. It wasn’t that tall back then though. Protected them from barbarians like me 🙂
Feel like I’m in a pirate movie 🙂 Long narrow streets, with a millennium of walls built on top of older walls.
Love the wrought iron work here.
Pirates of the Caribbean wasn’t kidding. Great railing work.
Door to the local basilica
Love the decorative painting. Very Spanish.
We saw that in a couple of weeks from this post
The largest air cart transport I’ve ever seen. Went all the way across the harbor (maybe a mile).
Happy toes 🙂
One of the many clearings
Lots of great art in the shop windows
A puzzle store! I’m at home.
I’ve never seen a lot of those.
The Barcelona Cathedral in the background
Beautifully done. The picture doesn’t do it justice
A protest in action. Lots of Israel protests here.
A local carnival by the harbor. Didn’t stop to ride anything, and it was gone a couple days after this.
This thing is BIG. Each of those carts can probably handle 6 people.
Made it to the Mediterranean Sea. A calm day.
Wikipedia said the yacht in the very background (not really visible) was $300 million. Saw another one for $150 million.
I showed up and a guy walking around handed me a piece of coconut. I thought he was worked at the hotel or something. Then he tried to grift me for 4 euro LOL K got pissed and we bargained him down to 1.50 just to go away.
