More Pictures From the Spain Trip

By ten o'clock there were 320,000 people!!
Hundreds of flower shops
Her we are at Plaza Catalunya at about 8:30 am before the day really gets going for the "Day of the Book and the Rose"



People coming to buy their loved ones a book or a rose or both!
My traveling companions
Boqueria market that sells all types of food.  The freshest in town.




The girls at Plaza del Rei where Columbus first came to meet King Ferdinand and Isabella after discovery of the Americas


Under the Plaza del Rei are the Roman ruins of the original Barcelona (Barcino).  This stone is from the first century.


Taking a picture of a relative?

Underground Roman ruins with wine making facilities clothes cleaning and dying and fish processing.  This was all above ground before but Barcelona was built on top of it.




This is part of their temple which happens to be directly under the plaza del Rei.


Stained glass window form the chapel at the top of the stairs at plaza del Rei.

Roman walls next to the cathedral with pretty girls to jazz it up.



This is the view of the cable car as it comes to get us to go to the monastery of Montserrat.

Not sure about this.


Just in the cable car  . . .but we haven't left yet.

Way up the mountain.






At the top.





The actual tomb of King Ferdinand of Spain at the Monastery of Montserrat.
