In Spain in the membrane #2.

Well folks, here it is. The best stop on the map, thus far. I know I say this every time, but this time, Barcelona stepped up to the plate and has proven itself worthy of the title. As I write this, however, I’m currently on a 300kmh train or something of that description to Paris so we’ll see what I’m saying in a week when I will be talking about Paris whilst in New York.. Shit.

Welcome to Barcelona aka a great example of a coastal city.

Where the football team have their own flavour. Didn’t get to see a game = Devo.

The Pigeons are friendly and clean(maybe).

English is the 3^rd most spoken language.

Oh hey Jmery!

The Graffiti is cool.

Yeah you did!

The architecture and style of the city, awesome.. Shame the photography isn’t.

It’s also World Famous. What up Gaudi! This guy was on some serious Absinthe when he designed these buildings!

This cathedral, Segrada Famalia was constructed years back and is still not finished. A great example of Gaudi’s work. Serious Hallucinogens. It features a play by play on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Crazy.

Hot chicks ride bikes which instantly makes them hotter for some reason.

Our hostel was a work of art.

The statues are tall as shit!

And people still rock out to Y.M.C.A (I know we do too.. What? You’ve never been to Control?)

Off La Ramblas, which is the main tourist strip there was this amazing fresh food, Market which featured these fkin amazing juices fresh and delicious.

So I’m walking through and I see this:

Naturally I lose my mind and give in to temptation.. I have had the most severe sweet tooth whilst travelling, not that I have a problem with that I actually kind of enjoy it. So I fill up my bag with what would be described as a reasonably small amount of candy. About 3-4 Euro worth. I weigh that bitch and it comes to 8.50 EUROS! Although, they were delicious.

I know it’s wrong but how good is this poster of someone’s lost cat. If it were a lost dog I probably wouldn’t joke about it.

The main reason I love this city is just because there was so damn much to do and see. We were about 5-10 minutes walk from the city centre and the place was so alive! Siesta was every day at around 3 and the main square was alive til late every evening.

The man of steel.

Rubbish bin Louie.

Now, on La Rambla there is a lot of little shops and services and people willing to draw a caricature of you etc, etc. But the most amazing thing was the amount of effort the buskers went to for a Euro.

La Rambla

This guy was probably my favourite. Drop a coin in his tin and he comes alive, starts pedalling which wakes up his wife who pedals as well as rocking back and forth and cackling like a witch.

He was a bro!

This guy hid under his table and made it his business scaring the shit out of passer-bys.

Paella anyone?

This was just some fat dude hustling notes the old 3 card monty style.

I don’t know if this guy did anything or not.. But I did find 50 Euro on the ground when I was there.

I have no idea how this works but it made me want to be a busker for a day.

Babes.

This lady didn’t move much but when she did it was mainly her straddling that whip in her hand.. We all agreed, it was quite arousing.

I met two dudes from Finland one night when we were out boozing. I don’t really recall much of the conversation shared. I think, mainly, because I was chuckling in my drunken head about how much they sound like The Dudesons. They were alright to talk to for the most part but then they started talking about Steve Irwin and how they were devastated when he died! Apparently Stevie was kind of a big deal in Finland. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that there wasn’t a black cloud over Australia on that day so I just went along with it. Then I bumped into this guy! Ohhhhh Steven.

I went exploring down by the marina one day and discovered they have cable cars and I was instantly determined to go on them. I spent a day on the city tour bus with Sezzy and Tom and we went to a few of the stops along the way. One of which was the cable car station, but wouldn’t you know it, when we got there it was closed because of strong winds. Boo hoo.

Bustard.

Cable car = Closed : (

Hola!

Cable car. They want to build one of these from Kings park to the foreshore in Perth. I think it’s a rad idea but it won’t happen.

Still managed to see some cool shit. This is a museum that sits on top of a huge hill.

And it has a view as amazing as the structure.

The next day Sezzy and I hired bikes. Which was a great way to get around and see/do some shit.

Lob-star.

Yeah we did!

Remember that tower?

Hell view n shit.

More lolly shops! This place was set up like a self-serve Pharmacy where you put your lollies into medicinal looking jars with labels etc. Free samples too!

Dals Barkley.

I grew a sweet ‘stache.

Self portrait.

Porno.

The adidas store in Barcelona was Fkin incredible! Adidas have really stepped up their game lately. They had a whole bunch of shit from the Adidas X Star Wars collab including the Dark Side varsity jacket that makes me moist in the pants. Only 450 Euros too!

Any way they had the program which lets you customize your own Stan Smiths.

Rad.

Good burgers. The guy that served us was the Spanish equivalent of Allan from the Hangover, classic!

Good bye Barcelona.. You will be missed.
