Exploring the Colorful Barcelona Spain at Night
02/15/2016
This is one of Antoni Gaudi's most famous houses in Barcelona. It always caught my eye when I walk past it. Each time I tried to capture it better in a photo as it wasn't easy with so many cars and people walking by.
This is not the hotel I stayed at but it is an example of how many of the hotels were very attractive at night because of their lighting.
Although Barcelona was a very beautiful city at night this will be a mostly photo only post. Although I am so glad that I switched to using a Mac computer a couple of years ago. It's been a little difficult getting used to not having nearly as much storage space as I did with my other PCs. I will be leaving soon on another adventure and want to edit and share my photos before I go. It's probably silly but I feel like I'm behind if I have a lot of photos from a previous trip on an external hard drive that still need to be edited.
I think one of the best things about Barcelona and especially about Barcelona after dark is the colorful fountains around the city. Many of them change color. I felt very fortunate that some of them were right outside my hotel as I don't go out at night when traveling alone. The photo below was taken by the friend I met from Marrakesh Morocco down near the coast.
I felt very fortunate to have made a friend in Barcelona not only because it's nice to make friends, but because we were able to go out walking at night and see some things that I never would've seen otherwise. Barcelona is a beautiful city and at night the lights on many of the hotels as well as the Gaudi house were very interesting and picturesque. It was also nice to have some photos of myself as I dislike carrying a tripod and or asking strangers to take my picture.
This is an area Down near the coastline where one would board a cruise ship around dusk
People seem to stay up late in Spain as I took this photo around 10 o'clock at night. Most restaurants and stores stay open late. Many of the fancy restaurants didn't even open until seven or 8 o'clock at night.
I took this photo from the rooftop of my hotel. I stayed at a very nice hotel called the Casa Fuster hotel.
Here is another photo taken from the rooftop of my hotel with my camera set at an aperture of 1.4 F to create the Bokeh affects.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below. I hope you all have a wonderful week.
