I was in Barcelona in the spring on a particularly bright day with blue sky showing behind some fluffy clouds. I took a long walk along La Rambla and ended up by the water. The Rambla de Mar was ahead and I continued my walk. There was a sidewalk where I saw a large sign describing the area. As I looked around there were many rows of boats in the sparkling water. It seemed to me that the water and the blue sky were exceptionally bright that day. It was a peaceful scene.
Look here for more sparkle.

I studied abroad in Spain a few summers ago in a small town near Madrid. I took a weekend trip to Barcelona and have wanted to go back ever since. Great pictures!
Thanks – it’s a wonderful place to see and I hope that you get back there soon!

Thank you Dana! I’d like to go back too… Happy New Year!

That’s what I thought too – Happy New Year Ruth!
Nothing better than immersing yourself in the local sparkle! Beautiful!
I agree with you Elisa – it makes everything more memorable!

A great picture. I love Rambla de Mar. Happy New Year Meg!! Happy travels in 2015.
Thanks Darlene – I’m looking forward to reading about your travels in Spain!
Here’s another lovely memory, Meg :) I can almost hear those masts tinkling!
Many thanks for the RT.
Memories like these are what make travel so special – thanks Jo!
Great photos as always Meg. Have a Happy 2015.
Thanks and I hope that you have a very Happy New Year!
Lovely! Happy New Year!
Thank you Madelaine and Happy New Year!
What a challenge it would be to get a sailboat in and out of there. But I’m sure they can manage it. Nice pics.
Thanks! I wondered how someone could get a boat out too… :)
Very carefully.
Lovely images. Happy 2015!
Thank you and I hope that you have a wonderful New Year!
Beautiful! Happy New YEAR!!!!
Thanks Diana and Happy New Year to you! :)
You captured the beautiful scene, Meg! Happy travel :)
Thank you Amy and a very Happy New Year to you!
A great place for a walk on a sun day, beautiful photos Meg. Happy New Year!
Thank you Sam… :) Happy New Year!!
Beautiful photos Meg. I don’t think of boat harbors when I think of Spain but how silly since they seem to eat so much sea food.
I have an unrelated question but don’t know who else to ask since you are also on Word press. I have to many stored photos on my blog. I’ve paid for extra storage in the past few years but don’t want to anymore. If I erase the photos from my storage will that also erase the photos on my blog? I’d so appreciate it if you could help me with that conundrum.

Thanks Karen! I haven’t had this issue so I’m unsure of how to answer…
Beautiful photos, Meg! As always, they sparkle.
Thank you Naomi! This was really a fun theme… :)
What a striking group of boats!

You can’t miss with blue skies and water.
It was a wonderful spring day – so fresh!
Those boats are stunning, Meg. I have a similar pic from Barcelona too :-)
It was such an impressive arrangement of boats and one of my favorite memories of Barcelona!
There is real mast forest. Beautiful photos.
Thank you – that’s a great description of the scene too! :)
