Carina and Maria sent me this vintage postcard of a city I (like millions of others) love: Barcelona. They kindly sent me the card inside an envelope, so i could also add another cover to my collection.Thanks a lot, girls.

First thing I thought of, when I looked at the card was that I once flew to Barcelona (el Prat de Lobregat airport) not in a DC-9, but in its younger cousin, the MD-82 of... was it Spanair? Can't remeber anymore.

Carina and Maria tell me that in Catalonia Bullfights are now forbidden, so the bullring (which I also only knew from the oustide, not being a bullfight lover myself) today must have other uses, music concerts being an obvious possibility, I presume...

Montjuic castle ... it's been ages since I visited it with my then little daughters... oh,  nostalgia kicking in.... 😀
