J: Because our last day in Barcelona happened to be palm sunday, we were lucky enough to see a procession of spanish catholic people carrying some sort of woven palm sculptures as well as Jesus on a donkey.
J: It looks like squid.. It tastes like garlic... What can it be?K: this was one of my favourite lunches actually...the sotong and sardines[in the background] were grilled to perfection....super shiok stuff!
J: The weather was really good, but it was getting a bit cold here... This is in front of the Catalan museum and part of the musical fountain. The fountain was more of a real fountain than the old Sentosa musical fountain, but it didn't have any laser animation things.K: Brrrr.....
J: Things are better when you're wearing a scarf!
K: and this is the view of Barcelona City from one of the hills, Montjuic, where they also had a Joan Miro museum, the National Museum of Catalunya (with a dizzying collection of artifacts and religious artworks) and a fort where they housed a military museum... the air was really nice up there and gave us an excellent vantage point of the city 
K: this is in the Eixample area of town where the Modernista buildings by Gaudi are - the lamp is an actual working street lamp - and is one of about 40 lining the main boulevard...nice 
K: and this is the roof terrace of our apartment where we stayed for the 5 days; the weather was mild with excellent sun on 4 of the days - so we had the luxury of breakfast on the roof with local yummy things like strawberries, fresh bread, cheese and assorted things to nibble on!so yeah...we did remember to look at a house called batlo
eat some yummy seafood extravaganza in a pan
(and even a seafood meegoreng called Fideuà )
and even, get lost in the maze of streets known as the Barri Gotic where Jos got some toe socks and I found Spanish design and street art everywhere!!!
it was an awesome, inspiring and yummy-eatin' holiday!
