I am going to Barcelona later today to see friends and dance some tango. Then tomorrow back home to Granollers which is a town about 40 km outside of the capital. (More about this place soon as I want to take a walk with my camera and show some of the beautiful buildings that are here.)
But today I will take the train to ‘the city’ and the buzz.

Last week I did this same journey and when I arrived I went to a cinema, the Alexandra on Rambla de Catalunya to retrieve the clasp I use to keep my hair in order. I lost it on Sunday while watching the film Agorra and was amazed and impressed to find they had kept it for me until Wednesday. Barcelona may be a big city but it hasn’t lost it’s human kindness and honesty.

Rambla de Catalunya has an exhibition of Rodin sculptures at the moment which make it even more of a pleasure than usual to walk along the central pedestrianised pavement. Actually when I first saw them I assumed they were copies but when I was researching it for this blog I found they are actual Rodin sculptures. And they stand there untouched or damaged in the centre of Barcelona.
