My blog post this week focuses on Barcelona, Spain. Spain's a country I've recently wanted to visit, and a trip interested me even more because of Street View. The first thing I noticed while panning around several streets was the automobiles. It seems they are more environmentally friendly, compact, and not quite as flashy as their American counterparts. There were also many Mopeds patrolling the streets, even more than cars at times. The argest sized vehicles were vans, but they were stockpiled with several commuters.
I had also noticed that the area had a clean and historical look to it. There were few ads and modern shops, despite the fact that it was a busy intersection. It's more of a rare sight to see areas like that in many countries, but it's been able to successfully maintain it's local heritage.
Many of the streets signs remained the same. Red means Stop, Yellow meas Slow Down, you get the idea. Although one sign referred to a public bus as a "Taxi Bus".
Those were just some of the sights I noticed.
