With the romance of the Ramblas, quaint shops, the pageantry of Plaza de Toros, and the pride of a people, Barcelona is unique. These people are warm, and display a pride which is nothing less than aristocra- cy, and yet somehow different, in that wealth and poverty are overlooked. We are Spain, they say . . . this, to them is significant. 'l W While ambling through friendly streets, one might smell the blended aromas of roasting chicken, rotting wood, cheap perfumes, tangy sweetmeats, ancient stone . . . the crashing realization of the old being dragged into the commercial times of today. As if blossoming in mysterious weathered faces, contrast is a medium, like a foreign tongue, used to paint a picture of real- ity. Barcelona is an island apart from the world, which like good wine has been mellowed by the passing of time. fpttffm- VV ,tqf?.i, K 1 get we A . ,.
