At long last, I have decided to return to my Sunny Weekend in Barcelona gallery (as opposed to the first, rainy one), from our second visit there. It looks like all I posted back in 2013 were the major buildings by Gaudí and a little bit of the seaside and La Rambla. We spent five days there, so I do have a lot of other pictures, but I think we got busy with packing out of Budapest right after we got back, so I just never finished the gallery. As much as I loved Barcelona, I’ve been resisting working on this because I wanted to focus on Saudi Arabia since I’m living here, but I have probably bored everybody to death with all my Riyadh architecture pictures (!) and can’t do much else at the moment, so a good time to mix things up (meaning some, but not all, Saudi architecture pictures ;-)).

I couldn’t resist another capture of this fascinating “eyeball” building. I have no idea what the significance is, but it sure makes for an amazing sight! The Ohla Hotel occupies the building, and the eyeballs are a sculptural work titled "Globus oculars" by Frederic Amat.
