The worn out city centre

Barcelona is a renowned brand, tourists massively have been flooding the city centre during the last decade. 

The last couple of times when I was in town I noticed a remarkable change. There was no jolly atmosphere, no cheering tourists having a good time and what have you. However there were Asian tourists staring and pointing their cellphones at the famous highlights like el Palau de la Música.

Is the bright light of the brand Barcelona fading out? I couldn’t feel any energy; it seemed to me that the city is exhausted and worn out.

I went to el Barrio Gótico with my large format camera and I effortlessly found the clearly visible marks of a used up city.
