This is nothing serious, just a souvenier video of our favourite places in Barceloneta, the neighbourhood in Barcelona where we lived for the semester. It's a tiny triangle that juts out from the old city into the ocean, and it still has that working class feel, at least in the narrow streets behind the main tourist drag. We'll miss the market, the main square, all the little shops, Vioko - where they make their own ice cream just upstairs, and for sure the beach. After a year or two away, we might even miss the women who offer you a massage every five minutes or the very insistant coconut men. I wish them well, but I'd rather just sit quietly and stare off into the waves. It's almost good-bye Barcelona.
