Barcelona, Day 1

Ship arrived at noon, and though we still have one more night one the ship, our Barcelona exploration started today with a stroll down Las Ramblas followed by a walking tour. Great introduction to the old quarter of there city. The photo in the building is the Palace of Catalan Music and the mosaic in the middle of Las Ramblas was done by Miró. We haven't even gotten to Gaudí or Picasso...

Photo shows part of the lobby (originally a courtyard of one of the houses). Delicious dinner of salmon in some kind of orange sauce.
