Kansas City is supposed to be a sister city to Seville, Spain. The Country Club Plaza, a bastion of fountains and sculpture, was originally designed to take advantage of that relationship with architecture inspired by Moorish Spain. Not Catalonian Spain, of course, but, at least, they're both on the Iberian peninsula. Unfortunately, I can't paste an image in here, but it's especially colorful this time of year.
Believe it or not, I’ve never made it to Barcelona and when you know that I live in Montpellier!!!!!! Each time I’m supposed to go something happens… And the first time we cancelled because a man tried to kill people driving a car on la Rambla !!! We are supposed to go next year with Gareth, let’s see how it goes !!!! Thanks for the article, hope to read you soon !!!
Loved your piece on Barcelona and love Barcelona, one of my favorite cities. I will add a link to your post to one I did about the Spanish Civil War and the excellent historical tour we took in Barcelona. https://jimbuie.substack.com/p/a-cautionary-tale-from-spain
