Adios Espana!

Barcelona has been jam packed, yesterday I visited the glorious mountain monastery of Montserrat, braving the front window seat of the ariel car down the cliff-side (note to self,  never bungy jump). Caught a glimpse of the black Madonna and walked the pilgrim trail of devotional carved out shrines.  Last night it was a Flamenco performance at the breathtaking monument to Art Noveau, the Palau de la Musica then today was spent at the seriously quirky Federic Mares Museum. Mr Mares clearly had issues with obsession-compulsive behaviour, and presents the most eclectic but comprehensive collection of art, antiquities and objects of the heart that you can imagines.  My favorite was his array of antique tarot cards!  Spent hours comparing the differences between same subject devotional carvings... suprisingly moving. There is so much to see and do in Barcelona, and just as I am finally navigating the alleys of the Gothic Quarter with ease its off to Turkey. So its Adios Espana! Cappadocia calling xxxx B
