Barcelona
What always fascinates me about Spanish cities is the contrast between incredibly spacious boulevards and neighborhoods where opposing residents can almost reach out and shake...

Let me summarize two days, as I still have vacation time 😅
The next tour in Barcelona took me to the famous La Rambla, the shopping and promenade street of the Catalans. But - what a disappointment - the entire street was a construction site from beginning to end. Compared to that, the construction site of the Brenner Base Tunnel seems quite attractive.
So I continued through the city in 'pleasant' 32-degree heat. For that, I enjoyed a delicious ramen at the Japanese restaurant.
Today, I first went to the nearest BMW workshop to have Vally checked. It wasn't too bad; the exhaust flap seems to be sticking sometimes, which causes a fault in the engine management system. The next service will surely come. A shout-out and thanks to the guys at Control 24, who immediately dropped everything and took care of the problem.
Afterward, I navigated through the morning rush hour out of the city and headed towards the Montserrat Monastery. There were some really nice roads, but also frustrating town passages. And after the thermometer indicated 33 degrees again, it was time to head to the air-conditioned room and take a little siesta, after all, I'm in Spain!
