Tag: Lens Artists Challenge #273

This week, Sofia asks us to consider Symmetry for the Lens Artists Challenge. I’m sick of rain and storms and gales here in the UK, so I think I’ll whisk you off to Spain, where even in winter you can depend on at least some sunny skies.

As the featured photo shows, we arrive at Barcelona Airport and head straight for the Metro. But we’ll stay here only long enough to go to my very favourite place there, the Hospital de Sant Pau.

We’ll just nip up the coast to Canet de Mar and the  Lluís Domènech i Montaner House-Museum. I promised a whole post about this, and this reminds me I have yet to write it. Soon …

Then we’ll head for Valencia, and visit the old – La Lonja, the Silk Exchange; the Puente del Mar crossing a park that was once a river, the Turia – and the new: La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.

Perhaps Alicante next? A stroll along the seafront?

Then Córdoba. We have to head for its ancient church, once a mosque, la Mezquita.

And let’s stay down south, and go to Granada, and the Alhambra The selfie-seeker wouldn’t shift, so she’s immortalised here.

Then Cádiz 

And that’s all we have time for. We’ll go home the long way round, on board ship,

Thanks Sofia. I need this break. But it’s still raining outside …
