Barcelona

       

  Photos from a week in Barcelona in September 2011.  I originally planned a three-week visit to Spain, but a minor injury cut my trip short and I only got to see Barcelona, the first of my planned stops.  Great planning.  Even though it was a shortened trip, it was great. The best of Spain, all in one place.  International surveys place Barcelona high in terms of livability, innovation, productivity, and cultural influence, and rate it as one of the world's major global cities.  Even on a short visit it's easy to see why.

The link to the Pictures File is below the Sample Images.  A Locator Map and a Table of Contents are provided below that, both in on-screen and in printable forms.
