Here is today's snapshot, a new series of candid photos taken with my pocket camera during the trip to Barcelona, Spain in April 2008. Full set, which is updated daily can be found on Flickr

El Cap de Barcelona

El Cap de Barcelona (The head of Barcelona) is a colourfull and very surrealistic looking 20 meters high Pop-Art construction by American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997). The Head was completed in 1992 for the Summer Olympics and is situated on the waterfront at Maremagnum. It became one of many symbols of Barcelona. Roy Lichtenstein was famous with his comic-book like paintings, sculptures and graphics is considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Pop Art movement and often compared to Andy Warhol. It far from fitting the surrounding area just south of Barri Gothic but there are many other modern addition to the city which makes justifiable in a way.  

Bus Turistic, Barcelona

A bonus image for today: Bus Turistic. It allows to travel on three different routes trough-out the city to see all the major and important attractions. All of three routes have a transfer points between them so once you are done with one you can easily switch to another. These buses run very frequently throughout the day - on average every 5 min or so, I think the northern route is one of the more popular and longest, very bus through the day so you may consider getting on it early in the morning. This truly the most economical way of seeing Barcelona - a day ticket is €20.00 or you can get a two day ticket for €26.00 (which is what I did) and take your time to explore the city on all three routes. With unlimited hop-on hop-off travel you get the best value for your Euro, each bus will provide you with disposable headphones so you can plug them in at your seat to listen to the pre-recorded tour guide which is available in several major languages.
