When we arrived in Barcelona, we were so amazing at the streets and buildings. The first thing we did after we checked in our hotel, was to go on a walk about. The little streets in Barcelona were so cute and incredible! I live these kinds of streets. It was just like in the movies, with balconies and clothes hanging off them to dry. I could almost picture the people inside the buildings washing their clothes by hand ( I have no idea), wringing them out and hanging them across the balcony to dry.
These little streets held the sweetest little shops you could ever find! There was every kind of shop but we had to hold ourselves at bay because our vacation had just begun and we needed money for the entire trip and the cruise to come.
I didn't realize we were staying in the Gothic area. We really loved this area. We found a MacDonald's on the La Rambla and of course we had to go in and see it. They even had a Burger King.
The buildings were built in any place that could accommodate them, so you might have a very large building but in a triangle shape to fit the space. This was the way they built homes in Halifax in the early years. If there was a space between houses, you could be sure a smaller home would be built. We are losing many of those homes now and it's a shame.
I think you'll really love looking at the incredibly beautiful streets in this amazing city. Please enjoy!

| This picture looks straight out of Scrooge when Tiny Tim came running to Scrooge. |

| They narrowed this building to fit into the space and it looks great! |

| There were so many little specialty shops on these little sides streets. There was a hostel on the corner here. |

| I love this one. Here they put their clothes over the balcony. |

| The balconies look into each other's homes but that doesn't matter to Barcelonians. |
 |
| You can see how small this little street is and look at the vendors selling their wares. |
