Barcelona waterfront

Beach volleyball in Barcelona

Posted by Elizabeth. Not only is Barcelona a modernist mecca it also has a great waterfront. Miles and miles of sandy (albeit man made) beaches with volleyball games, joggers, children and people enjoying the sun. We love the fun sculptures and the Palm trees waving in the breeze.

Mobile World Congress is happening here this week (anyone in town?) so on Sunday all of the beach front restaurants were full of guys in suits. We escaped the crowd a bit and had lunch in Barceloneta which is an old fishermen's neighborhood down the way. 

We have another week in Barcelona. I finally feel adjusted to the time and another language (just as we head into Italian). Being together as a family 24/7 is a bit trying but we're figuring it out and trying to separate a bit more. 

Probably my favorite thing about Spain is the vibrant night life. Beth and I walked around our neighborhood late and there were so many people in cafes and walking with friends. They live in small apartments and getting out is a great way to feel part of their neighborhood. 

My least favorite thing might be the sound of the European police siren. When we got here I thought it was so cute, now it just hurts my head. :)
