From Madrid's Atocha train station, we took the high speed train (velocidad 293km/h) to Barcelona. 
Barcelona lived up to its reputation of being very artsy....Gaudi's architecture inspired and amused...
Especially the Sagrada Familia...Gaudi's famous church which is still a work in progress. To us, it was a fresh, creative expression of faith.
Many fascinating Gaudian details. And then there was the ham....
More Gaudi playfulness at Parc Gruell...with the Med in the distance behind La Sagrada Familia. We took a late season dip in the sea which was lovely despite a flotilla of jelly fish, with which Matt had a nasty encounter last year.
The Picasso museum was amazing. One of our favorite Picasso pieces was his study on Vasquez' Las Madrinas, which included the Infanta Margarita. Henceforth, we have nick named our little girl to be "Infanta". Being in Spain, and saturated with a particular Limon or Orange soft drink...we conveniently shortened this to "Fanta". (Don't ya wanta Fanta!?)
The inner court yard at Catedral Barcelona...
