La Boqueria! The big market opposite my place at The Ramblas! I think it has turned more touristy but still the produce on offer is supremely fresh and vibrant and the atmosphere is perfect — raucous, lively, bustling, and the air is crisp and clean-smelling (probably due to the cold weather)!

Fruitjuice!

Delicatessen

Meats

super amazing chocolate confections *O*

Seafood! Razor/Bamboo clams and Cuttlefish!

Vegetables

Scampy—something you don't find regularly (or even at all) in Singapore

Lobsterrrrrrrrrr. Dad bought lobsters twice for dinner in our service apartment coz its significantly cheaper here in Barcelona!

French crabs on the right, something else unfamiliar to us Singaporeans, but don't fret, my dad says they aren't all that anyway.

Look at those innards!! And the head and the brains!

BRAINSSS

Cured meats. Had too much Jámon ham (spanish equivalent of Italian Prosciutto) and Salami during the entire trip....

Tomato that looks like a pig's nose!

EMU EGGS OHGAWD

The facade of Palau de la Musica Catalana, a world-class concert hall steeped in history that is amazing inside!! It is one example of the Modernista (Spanish Art Nouveau) movement present in many buildings in Barcelona. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to photograph inside.

Look at those gorgeous ligatures!

Facade of Casa Batlló (say Casa Bah-yeo) designed by Antoni Gaudí for the Batlló family. This house was an amazing representation of Gaudí's world and the Modernista movement.

A ceiling light in Casa Batlló

Window solarium

The inner facade at the top of one of the two air wells in the Casa Batlló. What a mouthful.

The roof. Those chimneys are wacky. Gaudí IS wacky!

View from the roof

Sagrada Familia, the unfinished cathedral by Antoni Gaudí, again. This is the most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona (and possibly Spain) which explained the impossibly long queue. We decided not to waste time waiting to get in.

Some old hospital, again in the Modernista style.

The terrace at Park Güell. Gaudí lived in a building in this park.

A metro station in Barcelona. The Barcelona metro was visibly older than Madrid's.

Tapas at La Boqueria. We visited that market many times! These prawns were delicious but expensive!

Beef Tripe. First spicy dish in Spain lol.

Beans and Baby Squid.

Chickpeas with meat and raisins. The Chickpeas were amazingly plump and succulent!

Little ducklings sold along The Ramblas just outside my service apartment building. I apologize for the wrong focus, not using a DSLR (but I bet you thought I did right hehehe?). They were cold D:

MACBA, or "Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona", a contemporary museum in Barcelona. 

Sidetrack///

You might have noticed that in Barcelona, museum is spelt as "Museu" but in Madrid "Museo". This is because in Barcelona and the rest of Calalonia, the people are Catalan and speak Catalan, a variation of Spanish with more words sounding like French and Italian (because Catalonia is in northeastern Spain bordering France). The Spanish spoken in Madrid is Castilian, the normal type of Spanish. 

Other examples of words I've noticed that vary are:

Sortida (Catalan) / Salidas (Castilian) — Exit

Espanya (Catalan) / Espana (Castilian) — Spain

That's it. lol.

Inside the museum.

Couldn't take photos in the exhibitions...

A special coke can with a Sagrada Familia design on it!

The view of Barcelona from my service apartment.

Our last meal in Spain—Tapas at La Boqueria, again.

Barcelona Airport

Our aircraft!

Just took off

The sunset looked awesome!
