No, this isn’t another post about running! As I type this, I’m waiting to leave for the airport to head to Barcelona, where I’ll be giving a talk about feminist city planning. I have just a few days in the city before the next leg of this trip, but of course it’s a great opportunity to practice my Spanish. And my Spanish needs a lot of practice!
I'm jealous you're going to Barcelona! I set my first novel there, because it's my fav city, and I think you'll find the locals speak Catalan, Spanish, and some English too. I'm sure they'll appreciate your efforts. Also, I have always found the urban planning there so fascinating. Especially the way they call the city blocks in Eixample (like the ones in your picture) "manzanas". They do look like apples, I think! Enjoy! :)
