Barcelona is expensive. Not like Copenhagen or Stockholm, where expensive is the cost of things, but rather the fact that there is so much stuff you want to do. And all of it costs. You find one thing that sounds good, and it leads on to another and another and so on. Suddenly, it's 6 hours later and you've completely run out of puff! But in the meantime you've seen...
The City Centre:
A silly foyer for a gas company (impressive, yes, but very silly also)
Fun and funky architecture
A bit of Gaudi (more anon)
A view of the city
A little more Gaudi, although this one I found rather scary.
And then there was the cathedral. Ambitious, hubristic, dominant, experimental. If the idea of it is enough to mark Barcelona as an exceptional city, then what will be the case when this place is finished. It is something else.
