Excellent blog! When in Barcelona try the resaurants down by the Barcelonetta. The anglerfish is really good! The beach is a hoot as well - lots of nakedness! As I mentioned Barcelona is the only city where it is legal to be naked (at least it was!). Watch out for theives on the Rambla - apparently it is the worst place for it. Otherwise I found it very safe. Top deck tour on the open top bus is good value as well. Stop off at Parc Guerrin which is amazing.
down memory lane Love your blog. Bob and I have visited Spain and this just brings me back to wonderful times. When you are in Granada, you may want to visit the cave homes( I forget what they are called). I am sure Lynne told you about her visit there. Quite an amusing tale.
When you visit the Alhambra, beware of the flower ladies. They are all over the place. You may also encounter the beggar women with their children in tow ( supposedly injured- broken arm, etc.) This is just a ruse to open your heart and especially your wallet.
If you are planning on visiting the Costa del Sol, a visit to Ronda would be a must. It is situated in the mountains and well worth the trip. Mijas ( LLadro pottery) and Nerja ( beautiful caves) are also interesting.
Well, enough of my trip to memory Lane. Have a great vacation and take care .

Get Blogging! Well, I have to say I agree with the email Barry just sent around...a flight from Toronto to Manchester and then on to Liverpool is no excuse. I demand insights! I demand amusing anecdotes!
