Elle, thank you again! Your wonderful pictures brought all my lovely memories of Barcelona right back to the forefront! We were only there one day, it was a stop on the cruise we took. The market was so wonderful and I remember all the human statues. I tossed a Euro to the demon one just because I wanted to take his picture. They get quite upset if they catch you taking their picture without paying. We witnessed one yelling at a tourist for taking a pic w/o tossing a coin or two in his can. Anyway, I just wanted to take his picture not pose with him but he made me come over and wrapped those wings around me! Quite creepy but fascinating to get a look at those costumes they are on a par with Broadway performance costumes. Did you see all the live animal vendors on the main street? I think it was called Embarcadero? They sold birds and rabbits and all kinds of things. It was amazing.
