Sharon Violeta Barcelona: Xmas in Barcelona (2011)

not quite done with xmas yet...


				Barcelonetta (it's near the beach)

Paseo de Gracia - it's the main ritzy shopping street

this little street near parc Turo - on the western end


Barri Gothic on what I like to call "Baker Street"

the little street where Els 4 Gats is located

not sure if this is Born or Barri Gothic


Barri Gothic

FNAC building


The FNAC building near Plaza Catalunya

Pelai near Plaza Catalunya/Ramblas - looking at one of the Corte Ingles stores... too bad you can't see how it twinkled

What can I say... at least it's not July...

More Xmas lights

Pictures... I haven't been taking many lately. The dreadfully cold weather (it's all relative, right?) has been forcing me to keep my hands covered with gloves, and thus my iphone hasn't been getting much use as a camera.

Better late than never.

Now that the cold spell is almost over...

Time to catch up on posting all the pix of the Christmas lights I saw around the city!

I had originally intended on visiting each neighborhood, taking a picture, printing out all the pictures, then creating some fabulous map-based artwork highlighting the different patterns all over town. Sounds cool, right? But when I returned to Barcelona from Cali, I had the worst cold ever and was bedridden and missed out on taking the rest of the pictures I'd intended on taking.
