Barcelona- The Ramblas

The Ramblas is a main street that runs through Barcelona all the way down to the waterfront. The center of the street is just for pedestrians. It is a combination of very touristy, pretty gritty and full of interesting sights. One walk was enough for us but we are glad we didn't miss it. Each stretch has certain things for sale. One has birds, one has produce and here is the stretch with flowers.

There are the typical people dressed in strange get ups, as in any touristy area of any city. We laughed at this sight!

Howard had to pay for this shot!

The produce market was like the horn of plenty. Full of textures, colors and wonderful smells- Beautiful!








And then we came to the waterfront an a statue of Christopher Columbus pointing towards...we do not know.

There were a series of these floating statues in the harbor that Howard was enthralled with for reasons that couldn't be explained.
