Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona: As Seen From El Corte Inglés

Today I will sacrifice a little quality so I can share with you this sight of Plaza Cataluña as seen from El Corte Inglés (check the picture to see the windows from where I shot). 

When you visit this square, in the middle of what we consider the center of Barcelona, don´t forget to do something that most tourists fail to do, enter the shopping center and reach the top floor. 

You will find a cafe-bar with a spectacular view over this neuralgic spot and the rest of the city. From there you can see Montjuic or Paseo de Gracia in all its length. The bad thing is that the restaurant is covered with glass panels that filter the light and hinder pictures in some way. 

Here is the seaside of Plaza Cataluña square with Las Ramblas entrance where the big sign is.

Plaça Sant Vicenç de Sarrià, Barcelona: An Illustrious Biker

Not very far away from the spot where I took the graffiti pictures at carrer Cornet i Mas there is Plaça Sant Vicenç de Sarrià, a small square protected by the shade of platane trees. 

In the center, a statue like any other. But wait, what's that he is wearing on the head?.Someone took the trouble of climbing the sculpture and disguised it with this bike helmet. 

Sant Vicenç is the patron of the villa of Sarria. In 1939, during the civil war the statue was beheaded and later restored. As you see its future is still at stake.

Graffiti at Carrer Cornet i Mas in Sarria, Barcelona.

Always take you camera with you. You never know when or where you are going to spot a good subject for your pictures. 

Yesterday I went to Sarria to have lunch with some friends. I didn´t expect to find anything interesting enough although there are really nice places to photograph on the upper part of town. On our way back home I came across this wonderful graffiti at carrer Cornet i Mas in Sarria district. 

Yes, sir, it was a perfect day, I had a delicious paella and some good shots for my collection. If you prefer a better framing, which I discarded because there was too much brightness on the face, check front view.
