ug , J N Ji A . Barcelona as seen from the bridge. B One of the many famous fountains The city of Barcelona, Spain is one ofthe favorite ports of the fleet in the Mediterranean. Barcelona offers something for everyone. This beautiful city which appears peaceful and restive to Americans is actually the most prosperous and industrial in all Spain with a growing population of over IVQ mil- lion. Immediately conspicuous as one enters the harbor is the statue of Christopher Columbus, point- ing the way to the New World, for, it was to Barcelona that Columbus returned in 1492 where he was met by Queen Isabella. Sperrymen who thought that they could speak a little Spanish soon discovered that the predominant language was not Spanish but a dialect called Castilian. Most of the people, however, are at least bi- lingual, and this proved to be no problem. Probably the most striking thing aboutthe city was the sharp contrast between the broad boulevards of the new cityQprincipally the Ramblasj and the narrow, winding streets of the old quarter. In some areas large fountains, rerniniscient of the Eternal City were found. Beautiful churches, quaint shops, and stunning examples of Spanish architecture abounded. It was, of course, impossible for everyone to see everything, but Sperrymen did take advantage of tours of the city of Barcelona, as well as a three day tour to Madrid, and a one day tour to Mont- serrat, the site of one of the world's most famous monasteries.

This colorful sportis syn- onymous With everything Spanish and naturally the arena was always packed. There were two bullfights during the Sperry is stay in Barcelona and each time the score was Matadors 6, Bulls 0. Seafood connaisseurs found this city very much to their liking as practically every type of dish was available in- cluding some real delicacies such as squid, and a wonderful item called Paella Valencia, a combination of rice and fish. Adventurous spirits also tried snails, a popular European meal, and found them delicious. Thus it was with sad hearts that most of us left Barcelona, and headed once again out to sea.
