Back from Barcelona

We're back from a week in Barcelona! We stayed at the brilliant Hotel Neri, which I can thoroughly recommend if you're ever planning a trip there. It's in the middle of the old Gothic district, which is full of little shops, alleyways, old buildings and pedestrianised avenues. It's just a couple of minutes' walk from the Metro train station and the tourist trap that is La Rambla. The hotel itself is an exercise in original artistic display, with crumpled silk walls, organic furniture, modern velvet seats, quartzite tiled bathrooms, and a massive widescreen tv and cd player in each room. You can usually get good deals from Lastminute.com.
Highlights of the week were Gaudi's La Pedrera (stone quarry) and the Miro foundation gallery. Will probably post a few pics here; although it's not what we'd call appropriate subject matter for "London Photo" :-)

Oh... check out Rob's cool image of a woman mopping up the giant map of the world at the Natural History Museum a couple of months ago. Well worth a peek!
