I took this in the Gothic quarter (Barrio Gotico) of Barcelona. I think this bridge across the Carrer del Bisbe is so lovely. Many of the buildings date back to Medieval and Roman times. The streets are labyrinthine and very … Continue reading →

Posted on June 12, 2010 by pearlsandprose

We took a day out of our time in Madrid to see Toledo, but it rained almost the whole time, so the photos are somewhat blah. I colorized this to give it some interest. Taken near the cathedral. We found … Continue reading →
