Hi Bob,

Barcelona has changed a lot from the 60's. Now is more beautifully  
decorated, even so that exist many unchanged places, as Los Caracoles.  
The unfinished Cathedral (La Sagrada Familia) is still unfinished, but  
the works continues.

In the 70's I had a Honeywell Pentax purchased at the photo store  
Cambridge in N.Y., here was much more expensive!.

Thanks for  looking and for sharing your comments

Saludos cordiales
Lluis
