One of the things I most like to do in Barcelona is walk around the city in search of beautiful facades with
trees in front, like this building with a London plane (Platanus x hispanica) and Mediterranean hackberry
(Celtis australis). I love this facade's colors and its modernism patterns which are typical for Barcelona.
