The sun is shining, and it seems June is the busiest month of activities of the year. While walking around downtown on Sunday, we discovered the Barcelona Modernista Fair, a three-day event that recaptures the spirit of Eixample (a Barcelona neighborhood) over a century ago when Modernism was at its pinnacle.

How cool is this? A single-riding kid can enjoy this antique Ferris wheel.
One little boy wonders if the squeaking sound is normal. Hehe...

You get to wear a matching aviator helmet if you're lucky enough to sit in this vintage airplane.
A cool tractor will do too.

Tres chic. She even has the expression down!
Thanks for looking!

Such cool photos! What a neat fair to go to. That ferris wheel was really awesome!
it's so curious, I think he's the same pianist who was at "La Festa del Modernisme", last october in la Colònia Güell
