I haven't been to Barcino in 20 years. (did you take a photo with that sign? Corny, I know)

One thing I enjoyed were the fast food tortilla sandwiches for (gulp) €1 each! Yummy omelet on a thin, crispy baguette. How can you go wrong or do better? Do they still sell them, and if so, how much are they now?

Excellent per usual. I visited Barcelona once. Definitely didn’t love it like I love Italy, but it was nice to speak some Spanish, eat some tapas, and relax on a beach.

Your ending made me smile. Definitely Italy men are bello. Not to mention their fashion sense. I could take some pointers.

I was in Barcelona for New Year's and Epiphany 1998 - before Sagrada Familia was finished. Really need to get back and see it again now that it IS!
