On the day after we visited Girona (Friday 16th) we went to the Picasso Museum (one of the highlights of our holiday for me) and met with with an old friend. I didn’t sketch that day. The following day we started with a tour of Casa Batlló – another one of Gaudi’s masterpieces. After this we went for a long walk around the area of the Barcelona Cathedral where I sketched this – the cathedral (technically called the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia was built in the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. I had planned to do more to this sketch…but I dislike sketching from photos and decided to keep it as a simple on the spot sketch that still reminds me of our time there.
