24 Hours in Barcelona
"I shall drown my Tunisian handicraft sorrows in Spanish shoes," I thought.
I had checked into a hotel in the Gracia neighborhood and left my broken painting in a dumpster, all wrapped up in cardboard and bubble wrap. I had a 10-trip metro fare card in spite of only being in town a day--it's just cheaper that way.
I spent my day wandering through Born, seeking shoes and clothing. I stopped in On Land, the last boutique standing of my favorites, and bought a sweater. I managed to buy quite a few articles of clothing before heading back to Gracia for the real reason I'd stopped over in Barcelona.
Hint: Though I found Gracia to have a street full of independent boutiques, I wasn't really there for the shoes.
Casa Vicens recently opened for public tours.
Casa Vicens is the first house designed by Gaudi.
I saw the outside when I lived in Barcelona, but this was the first time I went inside.
