Movin' on from Italy to Spain

Well, I've managed to make my way from the Piemonte area of Italy to Barcelona, Spain- from the big mountains to the big city.

My two days in the Piemote area were heavenly. The views unbelievable, the lifestyle nice and slow, and the hospitality incredible. I stayed at a darling B & B called Villa Favolosa. (website: www.villafavolosa.com )The owners are Americans who are also Italian citizens so you get the best of both worlds- people who are very service-oriented and also can guide you in the local ways. The accomodations were excellent and the food to die for. It is a great example of the entrepreneurial spirit.

The long train ride to Barcelona wasn't bad at all. The coach was quite and everyone slept, even me!

Ready for a day exploring the old city of Barcelona. Checking out some of Gaudi's works.
