You will see a lot of street performers/statutes/sellers/whateveryoucanthinkof. Heck, they even say in Barcelona, its not illegal to walk around naked but I have yet to see anyone do that.
You will see a legion of pigeons. Like, seriously there are probably more pigeons that the citizens of Barcelona
La Rambla is the place you absolutely MUST GO. It is always so alive at every hour of the day (though at night its not very safe. There are lots of pimps & prostitutes around during then).
We went there everyday just to sight-see & eat!
We were pretty lucky to be there on a Wednesday coz TravelBar has free walking tours of La Rambla during then!
Our super ruggedly handsome tour guide u can omgfuckinrapehim. Yes I just said that out loud :P
But aside from looks he was a fantastic tour guide. (ok his looks did contribute to 80%of the word 'fantastic')
He brought us to one of the oldest squares in La Rambla which in the olden days was only meant for the filthy rich tourist and citizens of Barcelona.
They made it into a mini oasis and the trees here were actually shipped all the way from Egypt!
One of Gaudi's first ever works!
A nearby small Palace design for the King by Gaudi
One of the most beautiful european streets I've ever walked along :D
Camwhore moment!
Barcelona is full of small streets in between tall the dusty tall buildings
Patron saint of Barcelona
It was said a miracle happened here where she was sealed into a barrel, stabbed by soldiers while she was sealed inside, and rolled down the street. Miraculously, she emerged from the barrell unharmed.

There is a small kindergarden nearby hence the kids playing around. Every shot captured looked like a scene from some movie. Gorgeousness.

That was the end of our guided tour. After that we headed off to the famous market of La Rambla.
It reminds me a whole lot of Bugis Street in Singapore except that they don't sell clothes.
The market is just a whole mesh of colours that will brighten up your day!
Every type of chocolate imaginable! Extremely expensive though
Marzipan sweets
MONSTER LOBSTER CLAW!
eek I really have a phobia of crab claws and lobster claws when they are alive. I keep thinking what if they actually manage to snap off my finger. Nuts!
I have been such a hardworking blogger of late updating every few days :P
(P/s: I just tried putting cucumber slices on my eyes n ter-tidur with them for an hour but they say 15mins is enough. It really works! my eye bags became waaaaay less puffy!)
