" Barri Gótic "

the alleyways of Barri Gótic can be such a maze,
every corner and turn leads to another exit.
It's hard to get by without a map and
It took us sometime to familiarize the area, which can be quite confusing. ^0^

This beautiful archway is along Carrer del Bisbe, the most photographed called the Bridge of Sighs.
It is actually a 20th century addition, built to look old in 1928.

The protruding gargoyles, (which I posted earlier) and its gothic inspired details makes you turn your head upside down.

" Barcino "

These quirky letterings places you along Plaça Nova,
just a few feet away from Barcelona Cathedral, Palau de la Generaitat and Ajuntament.
When you see this sign, then for sure, you're in the Barri Gothic area.

It was designed by poet Joan Brossa in 1944.
It's also right infront of Colegi d'arquitectes.

I reckon there are flea markets that takes place infront of BCN Cathderal,
and a christmas market during December.
this was taken at night.
