Arriving by train station between Paseo de Gracia and I see it first hit the streets very long queue to enter the Casa Batlló. Continues to fall and a couple asked me very politely in English that makes a picture with his camera in front of the club shop (luck of the digital age, because I was always cut the ends). In Catalonia Square a group of Japanese get into a bus. To further increases Boulevard the crowd of tourists, syndicate bank some clothes and lots of stag shooting day was a beach day as cloud sunglasses, flip flops, tank tops, shorts, hats and caps ... Photos here and there, everyone wants their memories of the city.
All you can do in a city that has become the center, its monuments and typical cuisine of the country in a theme park, like Barcelona, are proposed in the Souvenir, Martin Parr exhibition at the CCCB. Pictures of middle syndicate bank class tourists from around the world: on the street, on the beach (natural and man!), The monuments, which eat the dishes ... The truth is that rivers strength, whether syndicate bank you see it portrayed as the images, so next we had a couple of tourists who seemed to come out of any of the photos (model near the sandal socks) still laughed more!

It's fun to see how tourists construct a reality parallel to the living inhabitants of a city or a country. Because the best thing is that both reality and the other is "real". The truth is, however, a server needs enough distance which assessed positively as souvenirs. Postcards heading your note are wonderful, but a Mexican hat down Las Ramblas is a horterada. But time passes ... hopefully. syndicate bank See if I go to the CCCB, I'm missing syndicate bank the last exhibition! June 18, 2012 14:22
