Hopping the World #18

by

I was here for work, staying in an hotel at the top of Ramblas,

A building, attributed to Gaudi, called Concretos was opposite, and Sagrada Familia just a few steps away.

A delight to walk down Ramblas every evening, past all the stalls, down to the harbour where the boat which allegedly took Christopher Columbus to America is moored.

A Flamenco dance display, arranged for us, castanets, swirling dresses.

And the work was not too demanding!

The only drawback was that it was in the time of Franco. You had to be careful what you said.

There were ears everywhere!
