Before Barcelona became a tired tourist mecca during the holy month, that in Barcelona runs 12 times per year, it was a beautiful city. Don’t get me wrong: beauty itself is still there, but it’s hidden by the awful overwhelming mass of people surrounding you. My personal opinion, I’m entitled to one. So, these photos are memories of an easy living enchanting city, of cervezas drank at the Zurich bar before strolling the Ramblas, of calamares en su salsa and crema catalana at Marcelino Pan y Vino, of nice people open to new friendships.

Canon T90. Ektachrome 100 and 400 that I used extensively for night photos along with the always heavy but great Manfrotto tripod. A gentle, and helping, soul was carrying it along.
