More of Barcelona

I had seen photos of Gaudi buildings, but the pictures didn't prepare me at all for the real thing. For lack of a better word, these buildings were awesome.
It wasn't just the Gaudi buildings which we loved. Every street we turned down was charming, and unlike in a lot of cities we've visited, it actually looked like people lived there.We took the funicular up to Montjuïc, mainly to see the amazing views of the city, then we stormed the Castell up on top.We also had some wonderful tapas on our last day in Barcelona, complete with another plate of razor clams, a tropical salad made with crab and fruit, and some cervezas.
Soon to come, tales of Tossa de Mar.

Looks wonderful!
We saw the exhibition at the Met "Barcelona and Modernity" last year - I could not imagine how those thing look in reality.
