Photos of Barcelona and Girona are up. Marseilles and Paris photos still to come.
Places of interest in Barcelona apart from the main street, Las Ramblas, were Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Casa Batllo looked really pretty from the outside, but 16 euros was too steep for either of us, so we decided not to go inside. All 3 places are work of Gaudi. Wikipedia links provided for the curious. There are some pictures on the Wikipedia pages too.
Girona was a lot quieter and less pretty/interesting. Supposedly the place from which Kaballah started its spread in the western world. Or at least that's what one of the locals told us.
To see the photos, click on the "Flickr photos" link below my zeitgeist and look for the set titled "travels".

Barcelona is a fabulous city, filled with amazing Gaudi architecture, great restaurants, a pretty harbour and good shopping. I could spend days just wandering around in the old quarters with their narrow streets, browsing in shops and stopping off for a coffee or some tapas.
It is one of my favorite cities and I have been lucky enough to visit Barcelona twice now, first in Oct 2003 and then again in Jan 2007. Even after two visits I still have plenty more to see - stayed tuned for visit number three!
