Colours and life in Barcelona streets.....what most fascinates me in this town. And yet I come from Rome, full of history, art, beauty...but what I find here in Barcelona has a totally different taste from what I see and feel in my hometown....The way people live here, their philosophy of life, their open minded approach to people they meet and talk to, the way they "use" the day, their lightheartedness view of the world, the way they show their inner cheerfulness and positive way to look at things..."de verdad....me encanta"! .... I don't know whether this is something belonging to Barcelona people in particular, or to spanish people in general...but what I do know for sure is that I could spend the rest of my life here....
Sunshine today (well.....nearly everyday in Barcelona!)....Time to play some music in the streets!
Getting ready for Easter at La Boqueria market
Delivery lorry at La Boqueria market...of course cheerful and colourful!
Police at work in their yellow and blue uniforms ... matching their motorbykes!
Cup of coffee in the sun, Plaza del Pi (just round the corner where I live)
At the port, where people go jogging, chatting, taking the sun, listening to street music
La Boqueria market, getting ready for lunch time
A bit of ancient Rome taste... remains of August temple at Barrio Gotico
I saw a lot of people on wheelchairs in the streets. They can enjoy the city too as all the streets are flat and equipped for them. Bykes, skateboards, roller skates....and wheelchairs...encounter no difficulty in moving around this unbelievable town, built thinking of people, bearing in mind their needs
Just sitting at La Rambla watching people passing by
Nice guy with his best friend!
Taking their time to relax and make a small talk in the sun
Colours on walls too! Some blue...
...and some red!
A group of students and myself. They were collecting interviews about their town....got me to answer a few questions about Barcelona...and of course got one of the most enthusiast foreigners in the street!!
