Another week, and another Wander revisited. This time we’re heading to Spain, and to one of the most extraordinary buildings I’ve ever seen. I visited back in 2017, on a wonderful trip that took in two GOT filming locations, some spectacular beaches, beautiful coastal towns and a salad we enjoyed so much that we stillContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao”

Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona
I know, I know. You thought I was going to continue with my epic trip from last month. And, I am, definitely. There’s still so much to see in New York, from Rockefeller Plaza to the Chrysler building, Central Park to the Art Deco architecture of Fifth Avenue. Plus all the other places we visited…Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona”
Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Hello, everyone. I’ve been on a few wanders of late, most recently a trip up to Scotland for a Silent Eye weekend, a trip I’m still processing before writing it up on here. So this week I’ve decided to wander to a place I visited a few weeks earlier – the spectacular Guggenheim Museum inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao”
Wednesday Wander – El Peix, Barcelona
I’ve been to Barcelona twice, and both times I visited the beach. Yet, before I visited, I’d never thought of Barcelona as a ‘beach’ city. To me it was a place of dance and food and architecture, home to Gaudi, one of my favourite architects. I knew it was on the coast, but Barceloneta beachContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – El Peix, Barcelona”
Wednesday Wander – Parc Guell, Barcelona
It’s Wednesday, and time to wander again. This week I’m heading to Barcelona, Spain, and to Antoni Gaudi’s magnificent Parc Guell. High on a hilltop overlooking the city, the park is accessed via a series of escalators and steps up a narrow and very steep street. There may have been some complaining from certain familyContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Parc Guell, Barcelona”
Thursday Doors – Graffiti in Barcelona
I can’t believe it’s Thursday again already! Those time-management elves seem to be speeding the clocks up even more as the year moves on, or maybe it’s just me. 😉 I’ve missed a couple of Thursday Doors posts in recent weeks – not because I’ve run out of doors, but rather, a bout of fluContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Graffiti in Barcelona”
Thursday Doors – El Pachuco, Barcelona
This week’s entry is yet another door from Barcelona – it’s my third one so far in this challenge. Barcelona is a beautiful city filled with art and history – we visited last year and absolutely loved it. We’d leave the hotel just after breakfast and walk all day, exploring the winding streets and goldenContinue reading “Thursday Doors – El Pachuco, Barcelona”
Thursday Doors – Barcelona
I’m really enjoying the Thursday Doors photo challenge and have found, as I’ve looked through my photos, that I seem to have a ‘thing’ for doors, as I photograph so many of them. This week’s door is another beauty from Barcelona, but whereas my previous Spanish door was an example of Gaudi’s genius, this oneContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Barcelona”
Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona
A quick Thursday Doors post today – this week my door comes from Barcelona, and Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Mila apartment building. The rope and signs get in the way a little bit, but I think you can see what an impressive feature this door is. And it’s only a side door! Casa Mila is builtContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona”
