OLA BARCELONA


It’s wet.  Rain is falling in Barcelona, proper rain, the like of which we had not felt in Melbourne for many months.  Umbrellas are up, the bright ones reflecting their reds, blues and yellows in the glistening cobblestones. Ponchos on, the inclement weather doesn’t dampen our desire to explore the narrow mediaeval streets of the Gothic Quarter we have heard so much about. “Time to ditch the map” I said succumbing to the call of those ancient laneways. “Come this way.”,  “Have a look around this corner.”, “What’s down this way?” they whispered.  We were lost, happily, wonderfully lost.
