Three years ago Martinha from Portugal was visiting Barcelona, Spain. The Palau de la Música was one of the places she visited and it was of this amazing building that she sent me a postcard. The postcard of the also amazing Hospital de Sant Pau, with a wonderful stamp, was sent by Jordi.

O interior do Palau é mesmo bonito! Também vi o hospital mas como estava em obras, não entrámos.
ReplyDeleteTenho uma prima que me está sempre a dizer que na ida ou na volta de Portugal tenho mesmo de parar em Barcelona, mas ainda não deu... Isso das obras é que é chato, mas é necessário. Sabes que já tenho uns 3 ou 4 postais que mostram monumentos com andaimes? Se calhar era um bom tema para coleccionar! :D
