Mom hauled her bag down a big shopping street and through the Plaza Catalunya on Saturday morning to catch the airport bus. I had a few more hours, and enjoyed a tour of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona. The building is huge, but only two of the eight or nine floors had expositions. I was in and out in under forty minutes, but walked through two other buildings with art exhibits in the same plaza. One was a Spanish history lesson of the 1950’s and 1960’s displayed through magazines, t.v. news, radio sound bytes, and books. The other was a display of graphic design through creative print advertisements of local businesses. My favorite was the poster above.
I finished my last hour in Barcelona with a wonderful lunch at…you guessed it! Kiosk Universal. Again, I usually emphasize the importance of trying new places. However, when a large variety of fresh seafood and reasonable prices collide in a busy marketplace around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I can make exceptions. Plus, I had yet to try the colorful roasted vegetable plate and of course, the calamari.
The relatively early mornings to the relatively late nights, plus walking the city all day, made it so that I felt jet lagged when I arrived in Granada even though I was on the same time zone.
