Catalonia - in and around La Garriga and Barcelona

I was fortunate when work took me this month to the Catalonian town of La Garriga and then on to Barcelona. I was able to take a few hours for a look around and here are a few images.

First, some of the fine architecture of La Garriga :


The old church overlooks the town



Vaults in the cemetery around the old Church

La Garriga hosts several fine mansions - here are some examples -










And a little look at the old part of Barcelona.





A reference to the Catalan Christmas log tradition

Barcelona cathedral
A view of the Christmas market  from the Cathedral steps



One of the stalls - celebrating the tradition of the pooing shepherd


More of those Catalan Christmas logs







And finally the pretty Christmas lights in Barcelona




With thanks to Laetitia Nunny who showed me these things,
