Painting Description

In my memory some things improve as the years go on, but Barcelona was not one of these. In fact, since I was last in Spain thirty-five years ago, my mental image of that country had taken on a grim derelict quality. When our cruise from South America ended in Barcelona, we almost didn”t book extra time there. That would have been a foolish decision. We were fortunate to visit on a holiday and to become part of the audience watching a parade of costumed characters from the provinces being drawn through the streets in elegant carriages. Barcelona in the April sun was romantic and attractive. The colours, the architecture, the sounds, and tastes drew a visceral response from the both of us.
