I'm also fond of the Miro museum (in the Olympic park). I don't know what the weather will be like when you're there, but there's a nice beach and there are lots of wonderful places to just stroll around. I love how Barcelona is so many things all at once. It's cosmopolitan but it's also very old. It's international, but at the same time has so much of it's own unique culture. There are some fantastic restaurants there. I recall one called Oolong that I really enjoyed. As others have mentioned, the city is full of Gaudi's work. Parc Guell and La Sagrada Familia are both wonderful. Also, La Pedrera is a good one--I recommend going up on the roof! Enjoy the winding streets! If you're lucky, there may be a local festival going on when you are there. Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-19712479552021837352007-01-24T20:37:00.000-05:002007-01-24T20:37:00.000-05:00Good for you!

La Sagrada Familia, his cathedral is very special, too.<br /><br />And of course you should eat paella and tapas and drink all the sangria you want, it's a vacation after all :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-12705439229146452392007-01-23T22:20:00.000-05:002007-01-23T22:20:00.000-05:00What an exciting trip.

That is going to be such a wonderful and memorable trip - Yay!<br /><br />I wanted to tell you that I just now found a comment you left at my site recently about the SW paint shade called "Hearts of Palm" that you used in your home. I don't know if you posted the comment before or after my last entry about my decision, lol, but that is exactly the shade that I've picked for our kitchen! Great minds! It really is a pretty color:)Kim @ Twice Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563623309334980893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-21629477956873344652007-01-23T12:05:00.000-05:002007-01-23T12:05:00.000-05:00My husband, daughter and new son in law and I are ...My husband, daughter and new son in law and I are going to Spain at the end of March. I am overwhelmed with excitement too! I look forward to hearing about your trip and what you recommend. Do you worry about the super late dinner hour that is typical in Spain? I am in my jammies by 10:00 most nights, and the idea of going out to eat a big meal then is kind of strange to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-51665379171558607342007-01-23T11:24:00.000-05:002007-01-23T11:24:00.000-05:00Have a wonderful time!
