I think there are more of them then cars, and there are seperate parking spaces for them in the streets. They also have a bike share similar to Zipcar except for bikes. We saw the bike stations everywhere and people using them.
After Sagrada de La Familia, we strolled down La Rambla. It is a long stretch of the city with shops, cafes and carts that sell everything from tourist trinkets, to art, to flowers, to birds, rabbits and turtles. It is quite a site. You can walk all the way down to the port where there are great views of the city. Off of La Rambla are narrow alley ways with more shops and cafes. Unlike Quincy market which is all tourists, this was a mix off locals and visitors. Tucked away were La Placa(plazas) where people were just hanging out. It was exactly what I though Barcelona would be. We also found this huge food market that sold fresh fruit, meat, fish, bread and candy. As tempted as I was I did not buy a turtle.
Last night was Spain's footból finals. FC Barcelona are the champions. All through the night we could hear horns and people celebrating. It was on the front page of every paper.
