Finally in Vic

Right before COVID we had tickets to fly on 3/20/2020 to Barcelona then train directly to Vic. Two years and two months later, we finally made it to Vic so we could catch our flight from Barcelona to San Francisco.

Vic is distinguished by its plaza major; big, unpaved, and preserved in the traditional style. We had just enough energy to go around the city center to check out all the modernismo buildings.

Our 10-week tour of Spain is ending. We loved every bit of it. It was abundantly clear to us, since our previous trip in 2017, Spain has made a lot of progress and is in ascendance.

Our first look at Plaza Major on the minor market day.

We stayed in a hotel on the 2nd floor of the old train station - just a one minute walk to the tracks.

It rained the afternoon we arrived, but we still walked around town, plus made an appointment for our (then mandatory) COVID-19 test.

No curbs, few cars downtown.

The Cathedral is enormous (with a cloister).

The clinic we used for our covid shot is across the small plaza from the Cathedral. Bonus: it's a beautiful Modernismo building.

There is a restored Roman Temple in Vic.

A block of Modernismo buildings.

Small Plaza.

This balcony caught my eye.

Later in the day we spotted the snow-capped Pryeneese in the distance

The striking Sant Jordi Building.

Political murals and graffiti.

Street festival.

A few more murals.
