Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Barcelona March 1st 2004

I’m backlogging some of my previous travels in Europe from when I was in high school and college. They won’t contain much information as it was a while ago, but I would be more than happy to share my experiences with anyone who has a question. Wow. Barcelona is simply crazy. I spent a few days visiting a friend here; I didn’t go to bed before sunrise and didn’t get up until after 2:00 pm. It is a city that goes all-night and amazing. Loved the architecture; Gaudy is amazing. Just a great place to wander around and enjoy. ... read more

Barcelona is Spain's second city and the capital of the proud and distinct region of Catalunya. The Ramblas is two different streets by day and by night. We stroll it from top to bottom, there is plenty of street entertainment going on all day & night.

Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Pals November 1st 2003

Amid the marshy zone where the Ter flows into the sea, is the medieval village of Pals. The old quarter, known as El Pedro, contains many historic buildings: walls with towers, an old castle or Torre de les Hores, a Gothic church, and a monumental cross commanding a fine panorama. As well as views of the coastline and mountains, Pals has cobbled streets and ancient village walls and archways. Stroll through and explore the narrow streets which house a variety of restaurants and trinket shops selling everything from ceramics to jewelry. You’ll be charmed with Pals narrow pathways, stone houses, and flower boxes overflowing with color. The countryside is dotted with handsome farmhouses. There is a Club de Golf Pals, considered one of the best in Spain. A small museum of underwater archeological finds and a ... read more

The site is a strategic one, on the age old route linking the northern corner of the Iberian peninsula to the rest of Europe.... read more
