Lorna at Newcastle International Airport

The gloomy Northern weather
|
By the fountains in the Plaça de Catalunya
|
A huge market, just off the Ramblas
|
Tons and tons of fresh fruit and veg
|
So why are all these fruits and vegetables "<em>out of season</em>" in the UK?![So why are all these fruits and vegetables "<em>out of season</em>" in the UK?](http://logicalgenetics.com/oldgallery/albums/barcelona/thumb_IM004521.jpg "So why are all these fruits and vegetables "<em>out of season</em>" in the UK?")

Did I mention that I have a fear of heights?

Poble Espanyol is a replica village, with various styles of Spanish architecture and a number of quaint shops and restaurants

Or maybe it´s just an overpriced tourist trap
