 The Barcelona Museum

At around Christmas 2012 after many years waiting , I finally visited the Barcelona motorcycle museum. After spending some time trying to find the place i eventually stumbled across it . The museum is located just off a main old square with a huge grand old Church / Cathedral dominating the area . The square was was packed with literally thousands of people and families browsing through Christmas nativity stalls.  Over in Spain these small miniture displays are very popular and every house seems to have one. It hasnt caught on the UK yet.
After wed left the square we wandered down the alleyway and half way down on the right is the museum. I must say it looks very small from the outside. One inside though its pretty large , but not huge. Remember though , its quality and not quantity and boy do they have some beautiful bikes here. It doesnt matter that your forte might not be 1970's road bikes. Inside here are are bikes that will fill you with desire , as they did me. Its a real Retro heaven.


So we went in and had a good luck around snapping photos along the way.
In addition to bikes there are also some interesting displays. 


These photos aren't in any particular order so just scroll down and enjoy.
