Arts Hotel
Taken while eating breakfast. Our room (605) is part-way up the side facing us, near the middle. With its twin office tower just to the right of the photo, this 44-storey building is the tallest in Spain. After the recent explosions in Madrid, the security was amazing. Armed guards watching everyone who arrived, and it was like going through an airport to check in - taxi boot checked and bags opened and scanned inside before you got to reception.

Cathedral geese
According to legend, this half-dozen or so geese recall Barcelona's Roman period, when geese guarded the capital. There were originally thirteen - one for each year of St. Eulàlia's life (Barcelona's patron saint, whose bones are thought to be in the crypt).

Cloisters of the Catedral de Barcelona
The cloisters of the cathedral were the best part of the cathedral for me. The guidebook describes its 'orange and medlar trees, glossy magnolias and shaggy palms held up by trapeze-wires [that] blend in beautifully with the lush floral motifs of the Flamboyant Gothic iron and stonework, some dating back to the 14th century.'
