Third and last day in Barcelona.
The plan of the day was to visit Casa Amatller, one of the three buildings in Mancana de la Discordia (Discord District), Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, another work representative of Catalan Modernism and a functional hospital until not very far ago, then Mount Montjuïc, with its castle on its top and Barcelona Olympics arenas halfway up.
Fundació Antoni TàpiesContemporary museum in a modernist building offering works by painter Antoni Tàpies & other artists. One can tell that it’s different from its roof decorations.

After a Ryanair flight from Fes back to Barcelona, we took an Aerobus ride downtown and checked into our hotel. Leaving the chaotic Moroccan Medina’s behind, it felt so great back to civilization.

Flight Log of Ryanair Flight 9017 from Fes to Barcelona on February 14th, 2017
After ten days in the mayhem of Morocco (well, I mean the Medina parts), my friend and I were more than eager to get back to the civilized world of Barcelona.
So on this last afternoon in Morocco, we booked a (grand) taxi from our hotel manager that took us to the airport for 150 Dirhams. The taxi would take us through the newly-developed regions of the city of Fes, which wasn’t very much what we were used to seeing in Morocco.

Towards the end of our short visit in Morocco, as we woke up to a rainy morning in Chefchaouen. No surprise as this was early February under Mediterranean climate, in a tiny mountain town.
The plan of the day was to reach Fes, the second largest city in the country and capital of modern Morocco until 1925.

The plan of the day was to reach the town of Chefchaouen in Northern Morocco. Nicknamed “blue city”, its building painted in matching blue has attracted visitors over the century.
Streets of Meknes MedinaI particularly liked the color and composition of this shot, it’s got those old movie feeling.

Seventh day in Morocco as we woke up to a pleasant sunny morning in Meknes.
The plan of the day was to visit the nearby Roman ruins of Volubilis, and then back in Meknes for its imperial city.
Riad CourtyardThere was an orange tree growing in the courtyard. I guessed that solved the host’s welcome fruit problem. (Or maybe not, as orange trees were all over the country and people seemed reluctant to taste their fruit.)
