Sagrada Familia- Barcelona IV

I can't express what I felt when I visited the Basilica of the Holy Family. Absolutely mind-blowing, overwhelming. Gaudí was an extraordinary genius. Here you have another one of his masterpieces, El Capricho (in Comillas, Cantabria), that I visited last summer.

Food -Barcelona II


My collection of pics related to food. I love the vegetables I saw on the street. When the waiter of the restaurant saw me making a picture of the vegetables,  he decided to pose with the cup of coffee he was holding. Great coffee indeed! Don't forget the "tapas" on top. They were from the "Gothic Quarter".

Barcelona I

I wanted to show you all my pics from Barcelona, but it hasn't been possible until now. This city is mind-blowing. I just absolutely love it. I'll be showing many more in my next posts.  Enjoy!

Strawberry


Some days ago we saw the most incredible strawberries in a fruit shop. We bought a box and I couldn't help painting one.

Picasso Museum in Barcelona

I couldn't take any pictures at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, so I decided to make my own drawing of the Meninas as seen by Picasso (picture above). So inspiring!! Want to know more about the Picasso Museum? Read here. Want to see the painting that inspired me? Check here.
Want to take a virtual tour to the Courtyards of the museum? Check here.

Poppy

On Sunday I went for a walk right before lunch and I found this beauty. Isn't it wonderful? I love its intense red. Remember my paper poppies?
