Rainy day from my balcony in Carrer Petrixtol, with Catalan flag (the Estelada)!





Loreto, 25 years old, lives in a little coffee bar close to the apartment where I live and where I often have a cappuccino, actually just to meet this cute parrot. In the afternoon they let him free to come out from his cage and fly around the Café...no fear he will escape....!!!





Me, on the way home!











Paolo and the Cloud Carpet, nice friends, excellent musicians, performing in the street along the port





Red roses at your feet!

Barcelona: "..... I can see your true colors shining through..."



October/November 2014: back to Barcelona. Everytime I come back I discover new corners and details to take a picture of while walking around the narrow stone streets of the ancient Barrio Gotico...There is a subtle fascination  emanating from the cold grey stones of the buildings which take your breath away. This is what I feel every single time I am back to this magic town....

Lost in colours...

 "....Paint your palette blue and grey...
look out on a summer's day
 with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
....Swirling clouds in violet haze...
 reflects in Vincent's eyes of China blue
.....colours changing hue...."


Walking around the streets of Barcelona......just taking pictures of  colourful details of the town's walls, people,  corners, life!
