Seb the digger

 Checked out the imperial

Barcelona chair

in Mies van der Rohe's reconstructed pavilion from the 1929 world fair

 Had much lovely food (sometimes thanks to grandparental babysitting)

check out the view from the cafeteria of the Cortes Ingles department store!

And did a wee bit of shopping

But let's not forget the marathon smultz of the annual Eurovision contest: Go Iceland and Sweden and Conchita!
