Nice layout! They remind me of Legos although I doubt they would at street level. Have any of you ever been to Barcelona?

It does make the main streets attractively and unusually wide compared to London, for example. I prefer less order.

I stayed in a hotel just off the bottom of that picture - no more than a five minute walk from the Sagrada Familia they're still building in the middle left (one of the most amazing buildings I've seen but you think they might have finished it by now).
It is not one of the great areas of Barcelona - you go down to the Ramblas to eat and shop or the Park Guell to promenade or even the Neu Camp to soak up the atmosphere but you would not go to Eixample for anything other than need.
