Views From The Palau Nacional

One can walk around the roof of the Palau Nacional, in which the MNAC is located, something that escaped us in 2017. We were too busy doing the great art within. But the views of Barcelona from Mont Juic are worth seeing.

En route from Placa Espanya, the Arena, a former bullfighting ring,
now a shopping center with 100 shops...sic transit, Gloria

From the steps (after many escalators) of the Palau Nacional;
the pigeon wasn't there in 2017


Now on the roof, looking to the sea; the building 
on the left is the Mapfre building, where we had 
our Peking duck dinner (important historical note)

Olympic stadium

Interesting cell tower; actually a sculpture, 
Vicki informs me, of the Hand of God, from one
of the Romanesque frescoes

Central Barcelona

Peering down into the palace arena, where we'd later have lunch

Central dome

More of the great city, including its new major landmark


Largest indoor lunch venue for us ever, so far
