The beginning - Arrival and a visit to Barcelona

The Fruchter's arrived in Barcelona ready for their custom tour of Spain. First stop was the hotel, and since they had managed to get some sleep and so we were ready to go. We took a walk to stretch their legs a bit after the transatlantic flight, and made it all the way down to La Boqueria, where the cornicopia of colors, sights and smells were a perfect greeting to the new arrivals. After an enjoyable lunch, we headed down to the old city, where we saw how 2000 years of history has merged. We ended the day with a visit to the Picasso Museum, which is another unique reminder of the merging of the old new, with Picasso's art housed in palaces which date back to the middle ages.

Next up for Saturday: A visit to Figueres and Girona.
