Cabanes, five minutes walk from notorious La Rambla

Cabanes

Another shot. Can’t get anyone to snap me yet. I’m told there are two common possibilities when you give your camera to a passerby to snap you. One, he walks away as if you are not there because he suspects you are one of the numerous pickpockets who parade this area. Two, he collects the camera and runs off.
Cameras, bags, phones are reportedly snatched routinely here. Well, seeing as it was a Sunday morning when everyone was on their ‘church mind’, I braved the odds and said hello to a seemingly innocuous gentleman who chanced by. He walked past me hurriedly without a word. I didn’t wait for a second person to show up.

The reverence of a Sunday morning

One of Barcelona’s busiest streets off the Famous La Rambla deserted this morning about 10 am. All the casinos, etc are firmly under lock. Reverence for God’s day? I’m told it’s dangerous flashing a camera around here at any other time. I may still return to give you a picture of how it looks on a normal day. But, I’ll look for armed escorts first!
