Barcelona: Museums and Cuisine

Thankfully, I traveled with some adventurous women! This made eating out so much fun. We tried all the local cuisine, which in Barcelona - being a port city- featured things like octopus and squid, cooked the Catalan way...hot! We washed just about everything in Spain down with the best Sangria I have ever had.










I did try the octopus too, but my picture didn't turn out as good!







The one museum we spent the most time in was in Barcelona (even beat our time spent at the Louvre and d'Orsay in Paris) was the Picasso Museum. We learned so much about his life and art as it evolved over time. The museum in Barcelona contains the most interesting collection of his work, even though it doesn't have his most famous pieces. You leave feeling like you know Picasso better.





We sent postcards from the Picasso museum.
