Peter and Penny had just enough time after Italy to brush up on their Spanish before a Mayday break in el destino #5.  But the pair, not a word of Catalan between them, thought they’d ended up in the wrong destinació when they reached Barcelona, Spain.  Fortunately, they didn’t need the lingo to understand the hard-to-believes of this city and its environs.  Not once were they rendered speechless by Gaudí’s extravagance, or dumbfounded by the Dalí’s surreal, not to mention gobsmacked by the late opening hours on La Rambla.  Peter and Penny went all the way to the Theatre-Museum in Figueres to take picture #6 and when they’d given up trying to make sense, they only wished they could turn back their watches and make many more persistent if perplexing memories.
