Placa Catalunya, the massive square in downtown Barcelona. Filled with shoppers, people on their way from and to work and zillions of pigeons and touristst feeding them.

This has got to be my favorite square in the town: St. Maria del Mar. The church is amazing but the square is empty and boring… that is: until a wedding starts and usually one doesn’t have to wait long for that to happen.

The market of Santa Catarina is built on the old ruins of a monastery of XIII century and is a great place for photo’s like this couple having lunch.

The Parade del Gigantes also starts and finishes at this amazing Placa de St. Maria del Mar, famous for it’s Church and plentyful weddings.

Placa Virreine is a good place to chill and get some coffee as these elder people show.

Port Ghalib is a newly constructed resort and marina very close to the airport of Marsa Alam in the South of the Egyption Red Sea. In 2007 and 2008 I had the opportunity to stay and photograph the immense project as it just opened its doors. Incredible to imagine that before these buildings there was only sand and rocks. The Palace Hotel has the largest manmade saltwater pool area in the world.
