In August 2004, I went on my second trip to Barcelona. This time, I got to be there with my then-boyfriend (now husband), Stefan. I was there for work, to attend a volunteerism conference (the 18th IAVE 2004 World Volunteer Conference). He joined me later and I got to show him one of my very favorite cities. I meant to write a travelogue. But I never did.

We went to La Sagrada Familia - my second visit. It's always worth a visit.
Stefan got to see the outside of a "bombers" station (that's Catalan for firefighter). We love trying to meet firefighters when we're traveling.
Stefan got to see the Catalan wooden submarine.
I got to meet "Che" Guevara.
I bought the obligatory Spanish fan.
We got to celebrate Mama Sol's birthday.
I got drunk on the beach (photo redacted).
I ate amazing food. Because that's what you do in Catalunya!
See all my photos from my 2004 visit to Barcelona (only 30). The only thing I remember that's not represented in the photos: we took the light rail. I didn't even know Barcelona had a light rail. I also remember that Sodexo provided the food at the conference site and, of course, it was horrible.
