Mosaic Art at Parc Guell in Barcelona

Spectacular mosaics embedded in the ceilings at Gaudi's amazing Parc Guell.

WELCOME TO BARCELONA BESO! This website is a personal travel retrospective – a collection of images of Barcelona and many of its most iconic sights. I originally built this site, inspired by a few months of living in Barcelona, way back in 2001. Time has passed. Things change. But I still find the collages compelling as a window into the character of the city. For curious travelers, maybe there's something here that will whet your appetite. For those who've visited, maybe it'll bring a smile and a nod of recognition.

 

FIND YOURSELF UNDER THE CATALAN SUN. I don’t sell anything. I’m not getting paid. I’m just here to tell you from my own experience, time in Barcelona is a tonic for the soul. Sun-drenched, unhurried, funny, lively, often unpredictable and surreal – it’s a place that rarely disappoints for inspiration and entertainment.
