Thousands, if not millions of pictures have been taken of the cathedral in Barcelona, I probably have a couple of hundred from my last visit myself, but I chose this one mainly because it sums the city up pretty well - a cool mix of old and new, ever unfinished.

So I did end up going in this morning, albeit only for two hours, I'm glad I extended my trip; it was worth every last mile, and there were about 500 of them. I struck lucky with the picture, I didn't have much time but I'm not sure I've ever taken such a fantastically weird looking photograph - the mix of colours is like something I have never seen before; almost surreal.

Anyway, I had to leave today too, as planned, but I was quite sad to be leaving - although so glad to have come in the first place. The window seems to be open for Italy next week, I want to go back to Florence but I might stay closer to home this time; that's if I go in the first place...
