Hola Barcelona

While here in Barcelona I will be taking a few moments here and there to share my trip. I'll be honest, these moments will probably be before or after a long nap or during a short burst of rain; therefore infrequent.

One of the things I've loved most about this trip is the space that we are staying in. It's located near the heart of the city, just blocks from La Rambla and La Boqueria AND nicely situated near a police station (my mother would be happy about that). Our temporary home has been converted from an old factory from a far-gone era of Spanish industrialization. Though probably built in the 1950s, it is reminiscent of the factory lofts cropping up all over metro Atlanta.

The owner has decidedly good tastes with antique touches; books, records, etc.; strewn about in the most orderly of manners. We were welcomed to a beautiful bottle of red wine and admittedly, we enjoyed it with our breakfast.

This Airbnb is definitely a gem that I won’t soon forget.
