barcelona's odd behavio(u)r.

in keeping with never-ending surprises, it has been cloudy for the past two days in the catalan capital...and has been raining all day. i know what you're thinking. rain? remember the drought of 2007? it's feeling more like a crisp/wet fall day as i go to different neighborhoods looking at flats. i haven't seen many (more to come tomorrow), but all are typical 3 or 4 bedroom flats. my favorite so far being one occupied by a friendly girl from galicia, a proper british deb, and a french IT genius. the areas of sants & les corts (near my school) have a lot to offer in terms of affordable/shared/cute options.

for those curious...i'm including bcn construction updates straight from the Rambla del Raval, behind CCCB (a heine group), and la Barceloneta.
