In some areas of Barcelona it is quite common to come across businesses which have kept their original storefronts, like this pharmacy located in the Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhood.
This facade is typical of middle-class buildings of the “Catalan Manchester” period, when El Poblenou was a neighborhood dedicated to the textile industry.
I like this composition with the Besòs thermal power plant, and the Tres Xemeneies which give an industrial touch to the Barcelona skyline.
Some places are easy to identify at first glance. It is the case of the small town of Montcada i Reixac with its cement factory which can be seen from miles away.
Today’s photopainting represents a typical street of the Les Roquetes neighborhood.
The open section of the Rec Comtal, the old irrigational canal which crosses the city of Barcelona all the way down to the sea, looks like a place straight out of a fairy tale.
Barcelona is one of the art capitals of the world, and it seems that everywhere you look there are amazing buildings like the one I spotted the other day in Poble Sec.
Planned by Catalan entrepreneur Eusebi Güell for his employees, the Còlonia Güell, located south of Barcelona, is a mixture of small houses and modernist buildings. It looks like a place frozen in time.
I have never seen another city with as many bars and cafés as Barcelona. They are part of the neighborhood bonding experience, and each one has its own following and personality.
