I got back from barcelona on thursday. Since Andreas was working a lot, i had plenty of time to do what i like to do in that city, which is walk the streets and look at everything, stopping for cafe con leche and pasteles many many times per day. I am slightly obsessed with the pastry shop windows in barcelona, like the above assorted macaroons at Bubo.....here are a few more:
stunning pastry case at Bubo, in the Borne district
Demasie cookie shop
Demasie's beautiful display tables
pastry window in El Raval neighborhood
pile of tiny chocolate croissants...i think i could eat them all.
Spain's pastelerias inspire me- there is such artfulness, such pride in presentation. I ate too much.

I have to say that all of the food looks delicious! I think I might have to make a trip to Barcelona for some of those treats in the displays. Last year I went to Italy and one of my favorite things to do was to go into all of the little pastry and chocolate shops. Le paste was my favorite place place in Arezzo, which is where I was staying. I managed to take a short trip to England while I was studying, and they had some amazing dessert places there. I'm sure I could have gained ten pounds just looking at some of the extravagant treats they had.
holy hot bittersweet chocolate, alissa!!! yum! and those are some beautiful pictures you took there lady...
