1. BARCELONA: Art Surprise!

While uploading pictures I notice a bit of a pattern… we went to London 2 years in a row (2015, 2016) and Barcelona next 2 years (2016, 2017)… and while it happened more by chance than by design… though our kids would choose London every time… it has the benefit of revealing the favorite places that stand the test of time so to speak…
Here we are, off the airplane, on our first day in Barcelona, crisscrossing El Born and Barri Gòtic in search of last year’s favorites, looking for recent findings on the wish list, and always ready for a a surprise too… this mixed itinerary brought us to 7 Portes, a restaurant just across Passeig Isabel II from the Llotja that housed the Reial Acadèmia, the art school attended by the young Picasso and Joan Miró… on our first day citinerary inspired by The Little Story of Joan Miró… and here comes the magical Miró surprise, the 7 Portes Art Gallery including Miró, Picasso, Dali… autographed, of course…

And the rest is history 🙂

Wish we could find The Little Story of 7 Portes… here are few more stories to explore…
