La Barceloneta
Gorgeous little laneways everywhere. This was an impromptu stroll out of the tourist area to experience a local area and take us out of our comfort zones.

Gelati 1
The first of many...

Suma
Our first Barcelona supermarket experience. This was also accompanied with a fresh produce market visit for a DIY lunch. With smiles firmly fixed, zero spanish and much pointing, we purchased fresh fruit, jamon, cheese and bread for a fabulous lunch.

Great photo of Mick in the supermarket. A little slice of home away from home!

Supermarket
Even though we're on the other side of the world, it's as though Miguel is in his natural element whenever he enters through the supermarket doors.
