Balconies of Barcelona!














In January Alessio and I visited Barcelona for 4 days, we had a great time! We did visit and see a few things but one of the things I really enjoyed doing was walking around this great city.  Just being able to explore some areas and look at the buildings and in this case the balconies was fun!

Between the years of 12 to 15 I lived in Spain with my parents and for one of those year we lived in Barcelona. We then moved to Sitges down the coast not that far away. We lived quite near to La Sagrada Familia in a street called Calle Valencia. I wanted to go and see the flat where we lived, but could not remember the name of the other street. I asked my father and he mentioned a street which he thought it was. So we walked to the junction where both streets meet and I took a photo of the building which I think it was (the second last photo). When we lived there, underneath our flat was a bar and a kiosk. Of course these places are no longer there but hopefully I got the right place and I saw our old flat!

This weekend we are off to Milan with some other people, so looking forward to that!

Photo of the Week - Pretty Balcony


So I am a sucker for lovely looking balconies, especially when they are adorned with gorgeous flowers! When it comes to plants and flowers I am not that known for keeping them well alive for long periods of time. Anyway this was spotted in Zurich near to the botanical gardens, maybe that has something to do with it!!

Balconies in Zurich!









The past two Sundays I have been wandering around Zurich in the Seefeld area and realised that there are lots of really cool balconies.

They range from completely full, to some flowers to nothing at all, and they all look good no matter what. I like the first and last balconies, although I would not have so many flowers and plants as I am not so good at looking after them.

Which one do you like?
