This Picture of Barcelona inspires me to write a city-generator.

A fascinating mix of repeated and unique shapes. Simply fantastic to look at...

Best rgds,

Is expected to be completed in 2026. Building started in 1883.
If you visit Barcelona some day you must climb the four towers.

Well, I hope that the word chosen by the translator does not induce anyone to
confusion. I refer to ascend "inside" the towers, using the stairs, please. Do
not smoke inside the stairs. Carry water. Comfortable clothing and shoes. A
charged cell phone and some food. Signal flares. A rope and a mirror.

I visited Barcelona about twenty years ago, before the Olympics. We 
meant to stay a few days then go to Madrid. I fell in love with Gaudi, 
and the sea food ;-) Madrid had to wait another couple of years.
As for climbing the towers, I will leave that for someone with younger 
legs. That time I got as far as the bridge spanning the two innermost 
towers before my vertigo took over.

It is a beautiful city I went back later on business and found time to

The translation is fine. Our posts crossed in the aether. :-)
