Hi folks, thank you all! I almost lost this post myself and was happily surprised to see your comments. Barcelona, what a city! Everything was so laid back and a bit lunatic, too, at least if one happens to be an orderly Northern European. And this is said with a deep respect for the Spanish.
I saw Amadeu and the old boy down at Barcelona Port when strolling along the Moll de Bosch i Alsina, if I remember correctly.
