More Spain Pictures



This was a place we visited while on the City Bus Tour.  There were different little shops, restaurants, and an art museum. 

The Poble Espanyol was built in 1929 for the Barcelona International Exhibition as the pavilion dedicated to art. Right from the start, it was conceived as a real “village” in the heart of a city. The aim was to give an idea of what might be an “ideal model” of an Iberian village that would bring together all the characteristics of all peninsular villages.   There are 117 buildings, streets, and squares from all around Spain that were reproduced to scale.
The selection of buildings  reproduced was made in order to create a global and harmonious composition to enable the visitor to discover the architectonic diversity of Spain while enjoying a pleasant walk in a real village.






















Later that night, we went to a Flamenco Show and Dinner.  We had Seafood Paella and Dessert.










Camille was lucky enough to get in on the dancing!!!




Funniest thing...Camille thought this guy looked like a vampire!  Too funny!!  I totally could see what she meant.  We were pretty sure that him and a few of the waiters had been in "Twilight" the movie!
