costagirl: Just went to the shopping area, the Medittaranio. Carefour, not into the city itself. Agree the salt flats are wonderful with the pink flamingoes
I used to ride through the lakes with my dog in the front basket.Looked like Doris Day or was it Miss Marples.
costagirl: No, he is still in Canada, this was a ladies shopping trip
Dang - I could have come along posing as a lady........ I love helping ladies choose clothes (I get in the changing rooms with them and 'help' out as best I can! ).

After 4 years down South I guess the area has changed a lot.I went to Benidorm to the 1st tsunami fund raiser,but too commercialised for my taste. My brother lives in Gandia up the coast towards Valencia.

Have threatened to take kidatheart to Benidorm when he comes over here
bestbefore: Wouldn't know but I'll not take any chances on getting a fine.
I'm going to Barcelona 29th Ocotober to 5th November; I can't remember if I was there as a kid. I've been told it's an interesting city - have you been there?
bestbefore: you're safe with me I've been defused!
That's what they all say!
I get lulled into a false sense of security.
Then I'm hit with the 'bang'
'Darling - you know I told you I was 72 and that I was incapable of having children? I lied! I'm only 36, and WE are having twins! Robert! Where are you going? Come back here now!'
Life can hit you a swerve ball like that now and again.

It's been many years since I visited.The cathedral by Gaudi is spectacular and just walking around and taking in the atmosphere is great. I guess La Rambles as still the same although there was some controversy over the bird selling as I recall.
It's very much a Catalan stronghold as you will see and they do try to isolate themselves from the rest of Spain as do the Basques.
It did come out top in a poll as the most popular city in the world to visit a few years back. Enjoy.
