Barcelona City Walk

The streets of Barcelona are alive and busting with locals and tourists alike. People are walking quickly past shops, some stopping to get to something delicious to eat and take in the day from one of the many cafes. Choruses of people exchange greetings for the day. Children are running around playing hide and seek as the adults dodge them. Laughter echoes throughout the streets as the busy metropolis is in full swing.
