Pamplona is a ferry tale city. The old city centre is full of history and culture, narrow cobblestone streets and the running of the bulls. It is also a primary stop on the Camino Santiago.

Portal Frances

St Cecilia’s fountain.

Hemingway’s bar.

Pamplona. Beautiful city.

Tomorrow?

Burgos. Home of El Cid. Where is Charlton Heston when you need him?

14 hour train trip from Paris to Barcelona via Lyon  Part Dieu. Beautiful country landscape especially when we crossed into Spain with the Pyrenees on one side of us and the Med Sea on the other. Barcelona is a beautiful clean and vibrant city.

Segrada Familia

Rumour has it that the architect of this religious architectural masterpiece spent his last days in an insane asylum.

 

Even I am impressed!

Good ole Chris. Spain, unlike Canada, us proud of its heritage, good or bad.

Beer and olives

A Spanish treat.

 

America Cup is  being held here this year.

Busy place. Protests going on here telling tourists to go home.

Beautiful beaches.

 

 

 

 

Iconic landmark

On the Tower

Notre Dame. Still under repair from 2019 fire. It is closed to visitors.

2.5 hour lineup to get into the Eiffel Tower.

 

With 10,000 other people. No wonder she is smirking.

Rain all day today. No pics but went to the Arc de Triomph and Mont Martre. Funny that the arc only shows Napoleons victories. Waterloo is definitely not inscribed here.

On to Barcelona tomorrow.

You never know who you meet on the Frijhof

The cathedral behind her is 1,000 years old.

On the bridge over the Maas River.

The haunted house.

Lourdes is a pretty little city.

After a long walk:

And tacky stuff too.
