Strolling Old Barcelona

Today we visited the old part of the city, closer to the harbor, strolling  from our hotel all the way down the famous Rambla, (pedestrian thoroughfare) divided into 5 districts. Our guide took us through the colorful marketplace filled with meats, seafood, produce, sweets, etc., then we were turned loose to find our own adventures. Marge and I headed for the opera house, then our mid-morning coffee and pastry at a quaint alley way pastry shop. Refreshed, we walked to the Picasso Museum to see an exhibit of his "blue period". Discovered another cute bistro nearby for  a lunch of tapas. Home now for naps!
