Moar Of Barcelona

in #photography6 years ago

We spent a whole week in Barcelona last month and only now I start to realize how much the city has to offer.

At the time of visit, the schedule is tight and you don't have time to pay enough attention to a particular subject.

When I browsing through photos and read on Wiki about the building or statue I learn something new. About country, history or architect.

Like this one for instance. We were walking by the street and I took this photo not knowing what it is.

Its name is The Plaza Monumental de Barcelona I find out today.

20000 spectators, Torero, and the bull.

It was the last place in Catalonia where bullfights were held since the Parliament of Catalonia passed a law banning bullfighting events that came into force in 2012.

They have a Museum about bullfighting now, but if you ask me, they killed an important part of nations history. You don't need to agree but we are on the blockchain and free to express our views.

The Arc de Triomf is another one. It was built as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair.
Didn't you know that?
Don't worry, me neither. That's why they invented Google.

A view from the different angle.

Here is an example how to turn the street lamp into the real masterpiece.

A snail with a hat? You definitely need a lot of imagination and courage to make this and put it on the street with your signature on it.

This horse is from the airport. Another crazy artist at work.

I have no clue where that is and what is the name of the building. Maybe someone from the audience will know.

Same with this one. Beautiful. But I posted it because of flowers.

I'm not sure if it is about bullfighting. We have some suspicious activities on the opposite side of the bull. I really hope it has something to do with mythology and it's not what it looks like.

If there is a historian around, enlighten me, please.

Just a short commercial break and we're done for today.

I'm not an expert, but they have some great beer in Barcelona.

Cerveza, they call it.

Cheers, and thank you again for all nice comments on my yesterday's post.

It means a lot to me.

I have more of interesting stuff for you.

Stay tuned.

journey and your photography is amazing @oldtimer greetings from @mimam and I really like the picture images you post

Did the Monserrat and Cava tour with city guide joe. We had a great time. Joe is a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and had all sorts of tips regarding timing that enhanced our experience at Monserrat. Our bus had a party atmosphere after Cava. I don't think I am going out on a limb saying that everyone enjoyed the day.

✅Barcelona is cool. In addition to one of the city's best tourist destinations in the world, there is a Barcelona FC club, that I really very love. Barcelona is very nice. Thanks your sharing @oldtimer, about Moar of Barcelona, adding to my love for this country.
