Post card from Barcelona ( Spain) 1986

 

Gaudi's work in Barcelona


Having finished my studies at Huddersfield in summer 1986, I prayed for rain for my chauffeur
driven trip with my man all the way to Barcelona. My payers were answered, cricket gear never got out of the car as we headed towards the English Channel at five in the evening to cross over to France before the night fall. We stayed one night in a one of those hotels where we did not see a sole and entered the main door by taping in our  credit card details and slept in a space like shuttle with just a bed and sheet for a cover. It was depressing experience to have to go through before we arrived the following day to a beautiful Spanish sun, the blue sea which was visible night and day from our rented accommodation of six !!

 Barcelona with its art and Spanish culture is impressive city with Gaudi’s work dominating the city’s square. As we visited all the sights in and around the city, and had the swim in the blue sea we spend most of our evenings making use of the facilities provided in rather large accommodation with a balcony from where the sea view was out of this world. Any sea view away from English shores is out of this world!!!
