Barcelona Scenes, 2

Another day's nearly random rambling from La Rambla to L'Eixample...

In the market La Boqueria, a new crepe shoppe

Not catering to the locals, I think; not sure I
approve; nonetheless, we had second
breakfast and elevenses at La Boqueria

Caganers--look it up--have gone from Nativity Scene novelty
to major industry; we would have bought a Trump, but nothing
about him is amusing

Walking past the Palau Guell in search of the London Bar,
which was closed

On Rambla de Catalunya

A few days before Palm Sunday, and everyone is stocking up
on decorative palm fronds

Always looking up at all the gorgeous architecture, it's a wonder
we haven't been run over or fallen into a construction site

On Passeig de Gracia

The red brick is the old Montaner publishing house, the
nephew of which became one of the most prominent and
productive Modernistas

Mid-afternoon BCN lunch--at Cerviceria Catalana, which
Rebecca had put us on to--the first of three visits

Dessert menu

Wonderful cocoanut pudding

Back on the street

Still our favorite, Casa Comalot

La Pedrera

Casa Battlo

World sentiment
