Picture of Statue at Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain


This is one of the many statues to admire at Plaça Catalunya (Catalonia Square), just in front of El Corte Inglés Shopping Center, the most famous chain of stores in Spain, which you can see there in the background. I showed you a panoramic view of the square where I am standing right now as taken from those windows you see on top of the building.

Black Market at Barcelona Port

Black Market at Barcelona Port

A sepia picture of Barcelona Port, one of the places with greater affluence of tourists and black market dealers. People from diverse origin concentrate around here and participate in what is known as top manta, a term derived from the small blanket where they display their merchandise. There is a sort of simple mechanism with cords over the blanket to enable them to pick everything up very fast and carry it all simulating a bag. Although a law was passed recently by the City Council to eliminate such practices the fact is that it is still very common around this area and the city center.

Kids and Fountain at Heron City Barcelona, Spain



Today I show you another image of some kids having a great time in front of those fountains you action by stepping on the marks on the floor. Remember I had a similar picture in this previous post where we talked about marketing gurus and designing of fountains at shopping centers or if you prefer it, there was also some other post about Heron City with info and links.
