On Bailen just above Diagonal. Cheap Menu del Dia at €9.50. Not much variety but more than edible.

Penya Sabadell and Nova Creu Alta
I had the the chance of visiting CE Sabadell's Nova Creu Alta Stadium on Saturday. My brother's English veterans were playing against Sabadell Veterans on the nearby training ground.
Sabadell were away against Murcia so the ground was closed. I took the opportunity of taking a few photos of outside the ground. Then we went for a beer in the Sabadell Penya bar just across the road.

A Veterans Football Match in Sabadell
 |
| My Brother Joe - Veteran English Footballer |

| Sabadell Training Ground from the road |
There were photographers and local TV cameras there because CE Sabadell were under the impression they were playing against Bristol Rovers veterans.
It was a cold night and the match started an hour late so I only stayed for 20 minutes. They were already 2-0 down when I left.
The other problem was that, as I speak Catalan and was obviously mates with the team, the local Sabadell fans wanted the lowdown on these veteran English 'stars' - I didn't have the heart to tell them that it was really our kid and a few of his mates on a weekend piss up
Apparently, they were 8-0 down at half-time - only 8 - was my comment when Joe texted me the score.
The interesting thing is, though, it got me started on the germ of an idea - Organising Football Tours in the Barcelona Area.
It seems to me that a lot of groups of blokes would love to have the opportunity of having a kick around against a team in Barcelona or anywhere else in Spain for that matter!

Watching Real Madrid v Bayern Munich
I must admit it's kinda difficult coping with this game.
I suppose I was pleased when Cristiano Ronaldo scored but I can't say I was unhappy when Bayern got one back.

Early evening in Sant Andreu..
Frankfurt Anabel has always been a great bar and I really enjoyed seeing Paco the other evening.
The group stopped going to Frankfurt Anabel ... shame! I still pop in and see my good mate Paco, though!

This photo is of the front door of the Chinese Bar where we watch the Barça games in Sant Andreu, Barcelona.
They do Take Aways so I wonder why they're advertising an Online Take Away service!!!

This is me in the bathroom just after we'd lost in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea. Note the shirt is a sexy 1992 version - it's got Koeman 4 on the back and I really like the club crest!.
Shame about the result .... FORÇA BARÇA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bar Co & Co
Bar Co&Co is just by my front door on the corner of Bruc and Mallorca in the Eixample in Barcelona. I've never actually been inside because it's just alittle bit too close to home.

Just went for my first driving theory lesson at Autoescola Serraparera. Pretty boring having to learn all this stuff at my age but it has to be done!Eixample Tobacconist - Bruc-Diagonal

My local Estanco on the corner of Bruc and Diagonal. The guy that runs the place is from La Sagrera ... I like him from the first moment.

I kind of liked the dudiness of this dudey dude selling roses on Sant Jordi. It didn't strike me that horticulture or literature numbered amogst his interests. Sell a few roses ... make a few euros!
El Capricho by Gaudi - Comillas, Cantabria

Located in Comillas in Cantabria, El Capricho is one of the few buildings that Antoni Gaudí constructed outside Catalonia.
We visited on an extremely wet day so really didn't get a chance to get the best out of it.
The colours are gorgeous and I can imagine that it must be a delight to walk round it on a bright summer's day.
Buying Books on Sant Jordi
Sant Jordi is probably the world's most brilliant festival. Tradition has it that men buy a rose for their woman and women buy a book for their man
April 23 is the day on which both Shakespeare and Cervantes died in 1616.
Flowers and La Senyera

A friend was talking last night about seeing a Pakistani rose seller wandering about Barcelona carrying a Spanish flag. He didn't really get it, did he? Sant Jordi is a Catalan festival, so it's got to be La Senyera.
Os Ancares Terrace in Sunshine

I took this photo around 11 o'clock, so it's not surprising that Os Ancares terrace empty ... the breakfast crowd have gone to work and the lunchtime punters haven't arrived yet.
Great place to have lunch if the weather's nice ... menu €10.20 ... and the food's pretty good!!
Priority Intersection - Finding an Image Editor!!!
Strange things we do ... I'm learning to drive at the age of 52 and I'm also exploring new ways of editing photos now that the fantastic Picnik has disappeared.This is the first image created with Picasa and it's been scanned from my Spanish Highway code manual - my Manual de Conducción!

I've come across PicMonkey - it resizes and crops, which mainly what I need to do, just like PicNik ... groovy times indeed!
Modernist Balconies - Jewels of the Eixample!

I need to find about this building ... it's one of the many jewels of the Eixample!
