Sweet Home Barcelona blog

I’ve just uploaded some more photos taken at the aquarium in La Coruña at the end of our holiday in Galicia here.

I’ve uploaded photos from this summer’s holiday in Galicia with Edmund.  We stayed on a camping site with Isabel’s brothers, their families and friends.
The photos are here.

It’s been almost a month since I last updated this blog, and what a month it has been.  We have been for a long (felt more like short) weekend to visit my parents in Insch in Scotland.  We managed to get direct flights from Barcelona to Aberdeen with flyGlobeSpan, but the flight times were a [...]

I’ve added the first couple of streets to our list of Barcelona streets.  These are: C/Caspe and C/Gerona.  I chose these to start with because they are the streets that we have lived in.

We’ve finally got around to setting up a blog.  It’s not the first time that we’ve done this, but hopefully we’ll have a better stab at it this time.
I’ve created the first few (blank) pages for Food and Drink and for the Eixample district where we live.
