Barcelona, no Top-10-lists for me!


 I love reading travel guidebooks, particularly the Eyewitness series, lots of pictures and simple to read. But I don’t really care about visiting landmark locations; give me a plaza café instead of the Sagrada Familiia any day. As I write this I am in Barcelona, Spain.

Kestrel sighted at the Royal Crescent in Bath, England
