Barcelona's Tibidabo: Gypsy fortune-teller, Museum of Automa
In contrast to Tibidabo's glitzy Christ-topped Sacred Heart Church, let us be thankful that this creepy furtune-teller is safely imprisoned in a glass case at Tibidabo's Museum of Automatons.

Barcelona's Church of the Sacred Heart, atop Tibidabo Mounta
Tibidabo Mountain's name comes from the Latin rendering of words with which Satan tempted Jesus? What kind of name is that for a mountain topped with the spectacularly sacred, set cheek-by-jowl with the wildly profane? Here is a photo of the sacred. See next photo for a hint of the profane, or downright creepy, side of the Tibdabo entertainment district.

Battery recycling in Barcelona
Not beautiful, but really important! Recycling your batteries is easy in Barcelona - look for these boxes near pharmacies and in public libraries. This one is at the downtown U of Barcelona campus, between the courtyards.

Oliver and Elizabeth's street in El Raval, Barcelona.
Dodging into a narrow crack of a street where a discount clothes store faces a murky government office, we enter a narrow canyon world of close-packed five-storey older apartment houses separated by narrow streets, lined with hundreds of small shops, and punctuated by the beeping of service and delivery vehicles.

Hilary Lambert has been a member since 3 March 2008 and goes by HilaryLambert.
Currently in Ithaca NY and Lexington KY.
I am a geographer by training, and was a seasoned traveler at a young age, thanks to an adventurous family. Born in Ithaca NY USA, by the time I was 18 I had spent a year each in California, Norway, Sweden and the Philippines; had crossed the Atlantic on passenger ships five times, and had cruised the Greek islands and the south China Sea. Today I focus on adventure underground, and just got back from ten days in Barcelona. I have many tales to tell.
