It was lovely to see your photos. We had some but not many as we were using film at the time. I was working in a photo lab, so used some very odd sepia-tinged black and white stock. I'll have to try to dig out the prints! Can't wait to revisit - it sounds as though the changes are marvellous.

Hee! I had heard that next year was the year it was due to be finished. Although.. I've just had a look and that's the building, there will be more tweaking for another 10 years! Although, why rush after 143 years?

We spent our honeymoon in Barcelona - our first ever trip together. We adored the Sagrada Familia. It's now been over 30 years since we visited - we must return to see how it has changed...

We're the same. Nearly 20 years ago we saw 3 hour queues in Shinjuku as people waited to try Krispy Kreme. (We didn't join it!!)

I can imagine it gets aired around this time. Fair enough if you're not into horror, it's definitely one for fans of the genre.

We are always glad that Bari offers San Nicola a fantastic home for most of the year. And.... had you been naughty or nice??

I love this tradition - especially the poem. Yes, we'd heard that Santa was fashioned after Sinterklaas. Have to seen Sint - the film by Dick Maas? One of our favourite Xmas horrors!

Thanks so much for reading and sharing! I think you could be right - be naughty and get a free trip to Spain!!

That sounds wonderful! Do let us know about it if it all works out.

How fantastic! We're sure you will love the wildlife there.

We have our eyes on next winter... Thanks for the info!

Oooh! We prefer to travel off season so we are hoping to tantalise our taste buds next winter. Thank you.

Wow! Really want to do this. We're hoping for a visit to northern Spain in around a year's time. Was it difficult to get a reservation?

The best word!

That was exactly it! Good to try, probably won't bother again...

Those look familiar - we found them tasty but surprisingly picky! What did you think?

Thank you so much for reading and sharing!
