streets in Barcelona



streets were filled with people, how many were locals, how many were visitors, can't really tell. but the streets were vibrant with life.

In the old town area, particularly around the Barri Gotic, one can actually spend at least a full day there, and begging for more. Small shops which still has that certain individual character, not yet engulfed by the global brandnames, can still be found in inconspicuous alleys.

the La Manual Alpargatera, a local catalan shop specialised in handmade shoes, with its friendly staff was one such that would make you contemplate the lack of variety in our everyday shopping malls these days.
