New home, new neighborhood

 This is our building and we're the top set of windows you can see.

 View down the street.
This is the lobby of our building.

Yes, there are three escalators there and they are not the only ones in the neighborhood.  The last time we lived in BCN we were on the beach, this time we live up on the mountain in the zona alta. The views are nice, and we have this just above us with lots of protected reserve areas around and behind to hike in:

 

And this is the view of the rest of the city from the park by our house that we posted previously:

Maggie put some photos up on Facebook of our flat before we moved in, and I'm afraid we don't have new ones yet--it's not really decorated yet anyway.  But, for those that haven't seen them yet here is our new place:







At three bedrooms and two bathrooms it is bigger than we thought were going to be able to get here.  We're settling in nicely and have access to everything we need: two different trains within walking distance, three grocery stores, multiple bakeries, a public gym right down the street, and we can walk to the girls' school (downhill in the mornings, we take the bus back up in the afternoon and it lets us off at the end of the street).

As always, more pictures to come.
