A tour under the snow storm!

Barcelona is a place where we rarely get snow, however... once in a while, let's say, every 10-20 years, we get a big storm that collapses everything. And that's what we had yesterday, when I was on a tour with the Stein family!

Luckily we had a private minivan with the best driver in town, Ramon, from TaxiVipBarcelona. And also luckily, the Stein are NewYorkers who are used to bad weather and we still managed to get a feel of what the city has to offer and we also stopped for some hot coffee and tapas when we saw the storm wouldn't give us many more alternatives...

Here are the pictures I took during the tour. I couldn't believe how much snow it was falling! I might have seen it just a couple of times in Barcelona in my whole lifetime! After the tour, I saw kids riding sleds down the streets in the neighbourhoods!



Highways and roads got closed until this morning, trains stopped running (actually my grandmother and aunt had to stop in a nearby town station until around midgnight some buses where sent to take passengers back to Barcelona!), the border with France was closed, and many towns didn't have neither electricity nor phone lines due to fallen trees...
Anyway, this morning things started going back to normal as the sun was now shinying and services were restablished. The forecast doesn't expect any more snow for the next days.
