Barceloneta

For some reason, I've never thought of Barcelona as a beach town, but there it is! Right on the Mediterranean! Barceloneta is full of seafood restaurants, and there happened to be a carnival going on when I visited. No Magnum P.I. ride, unfortunately. I ordered paella from one of the seafood restaurants on the beach, Can Majo. There was some drama going on with a woman crying and wailing by the restaurant entrance. I would have given anything to understand what she was saying. It was like watching a telenovella, but the restaurant workers were surprisingly calm about all of it. I had more pa amb tomaquet, seafood croquetas, and paella:

Churro filled with nutella that I picked up at the carnival.
