Realising that every form of shop, food or clothes, is closed on a sunday brought us down the ten minute walk to arc de triomp- something we did not realise was so close to where we live. There are different forms of architecture all over the city, in every direction, and I cannot believe that we had missed this up until now. A sunny day for a beautiful road and beautiful architecture. 

Down the end of this road is the parc de la cuitadella, a beautiful place to sit in the sun and have a ten minutes think. Barcelona is such a small, compact version of London, and yet it still manages to hold some of the parks,  even if they are still slightly smaller. Having such a nice green park area so close to where you live is really nice..and really reminds me of home. However this park is still closer than holland park in London- even better!
