Sunny Weekend in Barcelona! Photo Gallery by Helen Betts at pbase.com

Sunny Weekend in Barcelona!

We returned to Barcelona June 28-July 2, and the weather was spectacular this time (except for a few hours of threatening skies), unlike our last trip in April, when it rained all day, every single day we were there https://pbase.com/helenpb/barcelona We basically went back because we had missed some key things due to the abysmal weather, plus I wanted to see the Barcelona I had seen in so many great galleries on Pbase -- in sunlight and with blue skies. And so we did!

I've included the sub-galleries for Gaudí buildings in both galleries since each one is a combination of the two visits.
