More Barcelona drawings

Finally getting through the scanning mountain. Here are some more drawings from Barcelona. This drawing was in a tiny coffee bar, attached to a swish chocolate and cake shop. Coffee was fantastic - in fact, everywhere we drank coffee it was great.


Street corner and lettering from a poster in the museum.


And lastly, as I seem to be turning into one of those insufferable people that wakes up very early, no matter what, I snuck out of the hotel and into a local corner cafe, before I woke everyone else up. Was bustling with locals popping in for breakfast on their way to work and school and most people were greeted by name. This chap was a taxi driver and drunk his expresso in seconds.

My favourite place in Barcelona - Park Guell

Park Guell is just spectacular! Had been told to include it in our visit by a few friends and it lived up to all expectations. Gaudi was such a visionary creative and evidence of that is all over Barcelona.



Was hot on the day we visited and absolutely heaving with tourists, but still, was fantastic. Amazing architecture and bold, exotic planting. No drawing that day but just captured a few snaps on the phone and bought the most gorgeous book to relish at home.




Would love to visit this place again - perhaps out of season and I would plan to spend the whole day there next time.

Barcelona

What a fantastic city! Beautiful architecture, wonderful to walk around and so many amazing things to see. We has a thoroughly great time. Of course, didn't see everything we wanted to see, but that gives me an excuse to revisit.

Managed to squeeze in some drawing time:




Standing, waiting for the open top tour bus - great way to orientate yourself in the city



Back of some apartments with huge amounts of washing hanging off their balconies.

More drawings Barcelona drawings in a day or two!
