A statue outside the (old) cathedral of Barcelona.
The Sagrada Familia by Gaudí may be the most important tourist attraction in Spain, but Barcelona’s old cathedral is well worth a visit and the surrounding old quarter is much more fascinating than the modern buildings built in the harbour area - at least in my opinion…
BTW: any idea who this is? I found the way that the face remains in the shade quite fascinating…
Another photo from the Canal St. Martin in Paris. The atmosphere here is completely different compare to the more renowned attractions, but I'd prefer it even to a stroll along the Seine. A notice about homeless people camping in tents along this old canal reminded me of my last Paris visit.
