Barcelona Street Scenes

Located directly on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, Barcelona has a rich history dating back at least 2,000 years when it gained prominence as a Roman town under its old name, Barcino. Spain's second largest and arguably most beautiful city "is full of what European cities are known for (outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums, and churches) and is fantastic for walking with an extensive and reliable Metro system for more far-flung destinations.
The core center of town, focused around the Ciutat Vella provides days of enjoyment for those looking to experience the life of Barcelona while the beaches the city was built upon provide sun and relaxation during the long periods of agreeably warm weather", Wikitravel.org.

I had the opportunity to visit this beautiful city and toured it on foot and with my camera.  I visited Paseo de Las Gracias, La Rambla Catalan, El Bario Gotico and many other neighborhoods and shot over a thousands photos.  The photos are gorgeous.  Twenty-five of them are available for viewing and purchase both in color and in black & white in sizes ranging from 8x12 to20x30.
