Two spectacular days off in Barcelona! That was exactly what we needed after doing 10 shows in 13 days..

Monday was a decompression day, but it was out for tapas and local beer after some rest. I am a big fan of the tapas style thing (small plates served a la carte), especially if you plan to go out afterwards. You don’t stuff yourself silly, and there is never anything gone to waste. Marinated calamari, Spanish olives, smoked chorizo, manchego cheese and, my favorite from this particular set, a mini venison hamburger with sauteed onions.. all washed down with some San Miguel pilsners. Yes!

We got lucky again with some gorgeous weather, here’s some of the sights throughout the night..

Monday was Festival de San Juan, which is a city-wide celebration of the summer solstice. We ended up right on the coast for the rest of the night, this is what it looked like..

Hard to tell from the photo, but half of the city was on the beach!

It was a much needed break. Perfect timing.. Definitely one of my favorite cities!
