This area is crowded and is a walkway beside the cathedral (left) leading from one plaza to another in the Gothic section of Barcelona not far from the beach. As we were walking along this street we saw an artist doing a watercolor of this very scene. We stopped to talk and found him to be a teacher who lived outside the central city, but who came down to paint. We saw that he had another painting of this subject and we bought it. It hangs in our bathroom and I see it everyday as I shave. Someone with us, that day in Barcelona, saw this painting that we bought and wondered if there might be another. We told them that the artist was working on another one when we bought ours. The person hurried back to the walkway, but the artist was gone; probably sent away by the police who patrol the area.
