Barcelona is famous for more than just its football team!

It has held the Olympics (summer of course!) and the expo.

It is the capital of Catalunya.

It has the building of the world's wackiest architect - Gaudi. I love Gaudi's work.

It has some of sharpest pick pockets and 'Taschendiebe' in its metro! Last time I was there two of them tried to raid my backpack and another tried to pick my pockets. I have the feeling they have overtaken Paris in this competition. I also stopped another thief who was almost inside a woman's shoulder bag by staring at him.

Also when I was at the port one early evening I was amazed by a totally naked man walking through the strolling crowds - pity I had my lens cap on :-)
