EXPLORING BARCELONA'S L'EIXAMPLE DISTRICT

2023 MAY 04, Thurs, 72°F -- A day in Barcelona's L'Eixample district. A carefully planned New Town just beyond the Old City wall. A ritzy "uptown" neighborhood where you can find upscale shops, restaurants/bars and many modernist architectures. Walk along Sagrada Familia in Avinguda Gaudí to Passeig de Gràcia to Barcelona's Golden Quarter (Quadrat d'Or) from Plaça de Catalunya, and enjoy the many Modernista buildings, each competing for your attention, esp the ones along "The Block of Discord" - Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Mulleras, Casa Bonet, Casa Amatller and Casa Batlló. While in the neighborhood, we had the opportunity to watch the free premier night of Refik Anadol's Living Architecture : Casa Batlló. What a stroke of luck!!

You'll enjoy Barcelona, but please be very careful of snatchers and thieves. They are aggressive and fearless. They operate in busy areas like subways. Do not put your iPhone on your back pocket. Do not leave your belongings unattended at any time of the day. Hug your bags in front of you. If someone tried to befriend you or hand you a card or something, do not entertain, stay clear and move away immediately. Not trying to scare you, but we had our share of unpleasant incidents. For one, my dear buddy lost his new iPhone and it got its way to Morocco. Exercise the same safety common sense as you would at home and I'm sure you'll like Barcelona. :)

Thank you so much for the encouragement. We happened to be in the right place at the right time when the light show held its premiere night. Just lucky and very grateful we did the walk on that day. :)
