Renxkyoko Iglesias here, HI !
Someone commented here, ” Where are you? You’re MIA ! ” Don’t worry. I’m still here, lurking. Actually, I’m on semestral vacation, and I go back to school last week of January. So, what have you been doin’, Ren? Well, 1. I have 2 jobs, and I’ve been given more work hours. 2. Playing Resident Evil 5. My brother ‘s Christmas gift is Resident Evil 6. I want to finish RE 5 first before I start with the 6th. Problem is, I ‘m bad at aiming. I need a high powered assault weapon than can fire 100 rounds of ammunition without reloading. Freakin’ zombies. 7. And, instead of reading some blogs from my email folder, which has 6, 247 unread ones already, it makes me not do anything at all… a totally complete opposite effect on me. I mean, I’m…..completely overwhelmed. It’;s a daunting task, I know, but, * shows a determined look * I vow I won’t lose to it. I’ll read up , every last post of it, and I bet all my Pokemon card collection I SHALL OVERCOME AND I WILL WIN ! ! FTW ! !
Now, where was I? Oh , yeah, Part 16 0f my European tour….. Barcelona, Spain. Ah, Spain ! The land of my ancestors . My great grandfather came from Sta. Maria la Nueva , Segovia, Spain. He went to the Philippines to work in Spain’s so – called Tobacco Monopoly in the Philippines. I don’t know the economics of that, but , it ‘s not a nice heritage , in my book. I mean, tobacco ? And to this day, our family is still involved in this business. It is , in fact, a family corporation. Well, not directly my own family here in the US., but , kind of…. we still get our share from the produce. I think our folks there should stop producing that . Diversify . Plant garlic or something , or sell off the land and stop acting like some absentee fuedal landlords or whatever they call them. Anyway, I don’t know if our Spanish relatives are still living or have disappeared . My grandmother and some relatives from the Philippines did go to Spain in 1970 to attend a grand reunion given by great – grandpa’s folks in Segovia, one of whom was a mayor of their town, named Bruno ( funny name, that ). And Senor Bruno was honest enough to inform grandma , et al, that though most of great- grandpa’s properties were sequestered by Genaralissimo Franco millions of years ago, there were some real estate left for them to claim. Ha ! So now I can say, we have some real estate pr0perty in Spain. He he he… Maybe , after subdividing it among great grandpas descendants, we’d be left with one pot of soil each. Hopefully, one square foot planted with one olive tree. That would be nice, too.
Sorry, I ‘m just musing.
Back to Barcelona.
The city of Barcelona is the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia. Spain has several autonomous communities, much like the US has 54 states, with its own state laws, and capitals. Catalonia though has 2 official languages, Spanish and Catalan.
.To be honest, I can’t distinguish anymore which photos are those of Barcelona’s and of Madrid’s. But the one above is definitely Barcelona. Our tour manager, Ruben, who was a Spaniard begged us to go shopping in Spain. That time, Spain had a 25% unemployment rate. So, we went shopping.
.That’s me in black tee , slippers and shorts, already carrying a shopping bag.
.
The place is a pedestrian mall at La Rambla. La Rambla is located in central Barcelona. It consists of a series of short streets, one of which is the pedestrian mall where the photo above was taken.
.Courtesy of Wikipedia below…… that tree- lined street is one kilometre long.
.I’m wondering how different Catalan language is from Castillian ( Spanish ) . In Catalan, it’s Placa?, in Spanish, it’s Plaza. Chair is cadira in Catalan and silla in Spanish. Clean is net in Catalan and limpio in Spanish. And do you know that Barcelonians are offended when they are referred to as Spaniards? I was told that when the 1992 Olympics was held in Barcelona, the Barcelonians wanted to let the world know the event was being held in Barcelona, not Spain. Hmmm, Spain has a political problem. And it isn’t just Barcelona. Spain is right now having a terrorist problem with the Basque region that wants to secede from Spain.
Above is the Barcelona cathedral. Gothic style.
.Architectural details.
.
Whoa ! I really did put on so much weight here. Chubby cheeks.
The photos below are of Sagrada Familia Church . This church has beenn under construstion since 1882, and still not done yet. It is funded by private donations, but they plan to finish it by 2026, the 100 year death anniversary of the Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi.
.The church has 3 facades: Nativity, Passion and Glory. The one above is Nativity.
.
.The Passion facade
Courtesy of Wikipedia.
.
Above is supposed to be the miniature model of the church. To be honest, I don’t like it. To me, it’s just a massive oddity, or to be blunt, a massive monstrosity, and to think, it’s a house of God. Oh, well, there’s no accounting for taste. Each to his her own, y’know? No offence to those who like it.
There were other places we went to, like places where some 1992 Olympics events were held. They were on top of a hill and following photos were the views of the city of Barcelona from there. The Olympic structures were, uhm, just buildings.
.Oh, by the way, Barcelona faces the Mediterreanean Sea.
Photos below are some random places and buildings that I took.
.
.
.
.Walking tour of the city below.
.
.
.The guy looks a bit emaciated, doesn’t he? We thought the guy could use a few Euros for a dinner of tummy -filling paella. So, we dropped enough Euros into the hat.
Lovely wall !
.
.I don’t remember what we were gawking at, but I figure it would be interesting, too, to show our backs. To be honest, I feel I’ve become somewhat jaded at this point, about 20 days into the tour. Remember ABC ? lol! ( Another Bloody Church ) Well, there’s another one…. ROB ( Random Old Building) Don’t get me wrong. I loved Europe. It’s such a marvelous and magnificent place. And I hope I can go back , and see more of Europe, especially the ones less travelled. I want to see Pompeii. I want to go to Naples. I want to see Eastern European countries, like Hungary.
.
There we are, waiting for our motorcoach to take us back to our hotel.
.That’s it for Barcelona.
Oh, wait…. right now, I’m watching Pres. Obama’s Inaugural Ball. The First Couple are dancing right now. * Ah I’m ,so in love with you … la la la , I love this song. And It’s so cool to be First Lady. Can I dare dream about that? Be First Lady, I mean ?
Oh, another thing, I hope you can check out this blog. It’s about science-based life and I assure it’s so educational and interesting.

Next is Madrid. Good day to all , PEACE , and yes, Let’s Stay Together !

Amazing Architecture! I wonder how they would have build such a beautiful churches 🙂
Posted by renxkyoko on January 22, 2013 at 2:19 pm
For most of the churches in Europe, it took them over a hundred years, ha ha.
Cheers !

Interesting 🙂
Posted by countingducks on January 22, 2013 at 9:20 am
I’ve been to Barcelona, and to the Cathedral. Reading this reminds me how fantastic it was. The architect was an amazing guy.
Posted by renxkyoko on January 22, 2013 at 2:22 pm
The architects were all amazing, and given the technology then, it’s amazing how they could have constructed all these beautiful buildings.

great vacay trip! and btw… cute chubby cheeks for you! 😛
Posted by renxkyoko on January 22, 2013 at 2:27 pm
guess all these walking didn’t compenstae for my heavy breakfast. Really heavy , like 3 servings of buffet breakfast everyday. ( cos sometimes, we didn’t get to eat lunch. Tour manager’s suggestion… eat heavy breakfast coz we won’t stop for lunch.) =_=”

Very sweet of you to help the marionette performer with a meal by the way, Must not be easy for him for sure to do what he does. What a great trip though 🙂
Posted by renxkyoko on January 22, 2013 at 2:33 pm
We were aware of the 25 % unemployment rate. That’s huge. And you know what, it was already the middle of the day, but we saw there were only a few coins in the hat. And oh yeah Andy, you asked if I was MIA , lol. I work the afternoon to night shift at work, up to 10 PM. I just want to sleep when I get home.
Cheers !
Posted by Cassidy Frazee on January 22, 2013 at 3:05 pm
You went to many of the same places I visited when I was in Barcelona. You should have shown Columbus pointing the wrong way towards the New World. 😉
Posted by renxkyoko on January 24, 2013 at 7:21 am
Oh, yes, we saw that ! Our tour guide pointed that out to us. But there was no mistake there, I think. He was supposed to go East for the spices, not to discover the new World. I think. o.Oa

Thanks, eatwithfatjoe ! I think some pics with me in it make the whole thing “real”, like me shopping, gawking, waiting for the bus. I could just have gotten the pictures from the Internet, taken by professionals.
Cheers !

Good luck on RE5 & 6! You have a nice brother. I played RE 1 & 2, and loved ’em, but haven’t really played games since. I can only imagine the lightyear advances the industry has made since then.
And I pray that you don’t lose your Pokemon collection. Some things are just too valuable to risk, you know!
As always, love the pictures. I’ve never been to Spain (I’ve wanted to, but I’ve wanted to go other places more), but it looks so beautiful. And it’s cool that you have family history there, by way of two continents!
And again, I love to travel, and I really admire someone who so clearly made the most of her trip. Writing and talking about it help to keep the experience vital for you, and more importantly, reinforce it in your memory (while it’s still relatively recent) so that you have a rich memory to last you the rest of your life.Good on you, Chica.
Posted by renxkyoko on January 24, 2013 at 8:17 am
RE5 is too much for me. I’m not advancing at all, and I’ve been playing for so many hours already, like, 200 hours? TT.TT RE1 and RE 6… oh, my, the graphics is light years away.
I’ve donated all my kiddie stuff. I want to donate the Pokemon collection ( in an album , complete, hahah), but who would want that?lol
family history…. we have a family chronicler ( is that what he’s called ) of the family tree. My parents just sent him the latest info about us. Cool.
You know what, it’s true. Do you know that I’m starting to forget?
Posted by efratadenny on January 23, 2013 at 4:36 am
Love your prologue about Resident Evil. I thought you finished your Resident Evil 5 already. I haven’t play RE6. What do you think? Recommended?
ABC.. ROB.. hahaha like that.
Posted by renxkyoko on January 24, 2013 at 8:22 am
I dropped it last summer because of the tour, and didn’t pick up again , until now. My brother has already played RE6. He says RE5 is more difficult.
Do you know what I recommend? God of War… there are already 3 in the series. Start with the first….. I highly recommend it.
Posted by efratadenny on January 25, 2013 at 9:37 am
U told me about GOW before. That makes me amazing to know that fashionable women like you also play Play Station 3. I played GOW 3. Both story and graphic are amazing. Look forward for GOW 4 🙂 Your trip to europe, did you compare scenes in GOW 3 with the real world?
RE6… oh my.. I am very eager to play it
Posted by renxkyoko on January 25, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Sadly, that’s the last, efratadenny ! Although I heard the developers are going to come up with another, but Kratos will go somewhere in Europe to fight other gods like THOR…. but I highly doubt it would be as interesting as the Greek gods. Don’t you think so?
Oh, my, gosh, yes ! When I was at the Vatican and saw that area where all the statues of Greek gods are exhibited, thae place looks exactly like in GOW…. check out my post on the Vatican and you’ll see what I mean. I talked about that remember? I even mentioned Kratos ! The stairs with the urns……

Posted by renxkyoko on January 24, 2013 at 8:30 am
What’s Warm Bodies ? I’m so out of touch already. Do you know I ‘d not heard of Walking Dead, until someone told me there was such a show? I just bought Season 1 . I have not seen a single episode of Season 2.

Posted by Lee Devine on January 24, 2013 at 11:31 pm
When I lived in Italy, my wife and I took a vacation and spent a week in Barcelona. Your article took me back to that time (1980) The cathedral was a little less complete but the Ramblas was so perfect. I loved the houses from Gaudi. I was astounded by the atmosphere of the city. That was one of the best weeks of my life. Oh and the replica of the Columbus ship… did you get to see that?
Posted by renxkyoko on January 25, 2013 at 2:19 pm
The Columbus ship,….. yes, I saw it !
OMgosh , 1980 ! That’s 33 years ago ! But then , Europe won’t change that much from 30 years ago, heck, it has not even changed from hundreds of years ago ! they preserve everything. There are places where people are not allowed to change anything, except maintain the buildings. And that’s where the charm of Europe comes in.
Cheers, Lee devine.
I’m glad you’re posting more often now !

Ah Barcelona! I remember my trip here quite well. I should considering I went there about two years ago. I prefer Barcelona over Madrid. I feel like there is so much more to see in Barcelona than Madrid. Also, people seem nicer in Barcelona than Madrid. How was the weather there at the time? I think it was quite cool during the time we went, and it was summer! I had to carry a light sweater with me at the time.
Posted by renxkyoko on January 26, 2013 at 4:26 pm
You prefer Barcelona over Madrid? Interesting. I’ve already forgotten a lot, simpleek, and that’s so sad. I now go by the pictures I have. the only place where tons of memories still remain is Italy.
The weather was fine in Spain. Unlike in Italy where , I swear, it was over 100F.

Lovely pictures ! And, no you have not put on much weight as such. You are young and will grow. So you do need to eat a lot 🙂
You know what, I have been thinking. Maybe I should take one country at a time you know. Like a month for spain. I go there after learning spanish and see everything that is there to be seen, stay with a spanish family and…just live the country. I mean this looks so much better than just visiting the place and not feeling the place right ?
Posted by renxkyoko on January 27, 2013 at 5:45 pm
Women stop growing at age 16… I’m way past that, ha ha… I won’t grow vertically anymore. From hereon, it’s horizontal all the way. lol
If you want to really immerse yourself in the culture , I guess one month is okay. Spain, after all is huge. I suggest 2 weeks. But Italy….. you can stay for one month. There’s just too much to see in Italy.

It is. But then , all of Europe is beautiful. The architecture is just amazing
Thanks for the visit, Beem.
Posted by topiclessbar on January 27, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Yo! I went to Barcelona, so I can relate. Did you actually go in La Sagrada Familia? I did not. Instead I went to the KFC nearby and got a snack box, which was money well spent. I did a lot of Gaudi stuff, also did Park Guell and La Pedrera which were cool. La Rambla was the best part of Barcelona, though. It was dope. You drink some of the sangria Ren? Get a little tipsy? I could have sangria with tapas every day for the rest of my life and I would be the happiest guy on earth.
Man, your posts make me nostalgic, Ren. Peace girl. Hope you finished Res Evil 5 by now.
Posted by renxkyoko on January 27, 2013 at 5:58 pm
Oppa, what do you mean, “go in La Sagrada Familia”? Do you mean, enter the church ? No, we didn’t. We were just outside. That’s a pity though. I saw the interior on the Internet, and it was amazing. ( The Parthenon in Rome was another Fail. We didn’t get to see the interior. )
yes, we had Sangria, and Sangria only the whole time we were in Spain. And yes, we had Tapa and Sangria . But you know, Oppa, tapa is our “everyday” food here at home. Mom always buys “tapadera” meat at her Filipino grocery here. tapa is a common breakfast food in the Philippines…. tapa and fried rice together. I’m sure you had that combo when you were in the Philippines. ( tapa , I think , is marinated meat, then air dried )
RE5…. oh, man…. it’s really difficult… the zombies can run and don’t die easily. lol

Really some lovely photos from the catalan capital Barcelona… 🙂
I could not help but smile when you wrote that you should grow garlic instead of tobacco – perhaps wisely – but many people find both tobacco and garlic smells bad… 😉
I like garlic myself and never been told that I smell of garlic… 🙂 😉
Posted by renxkyoko on February 4, 2013 at 6:45 am
LOL ! ! !
I just realized they both smell. Ha ha ha ! ! So, okay, the reason I chose garlic was, my parents told me that land where tobacco is grown is also great for garlic. So, that wasn’t actually random. lol !
It’s fun that you pointed that out to me !
Posted by Stuart W. Palmer on February 8, 2013 at 7:00 pm
In Catalonia I can do all those things without speaking Catalan. Like water, I take the easiest route. Everyone speaks Spanish. Whether they like it or not. Only once in a very long while will a Catalan simply refuse to talk to me in Spanish. This reality drives some Catalans crazy – and it’s led to public campaigns to encourage Catalans not to switch to Spanish in conversations with folks like me. But that hasn’t really worked, because ultimately people realize it’s rude to answer someone who’s speaking to you in a language you know – by using a language they don’t.
Posted by WordsFallFromMyEyes on June 1, 2013 at 10:33 am
