I guess different people like different things. I went to the Spanish Village this summer in Barcelona and absolutely loved it - probably because it had been a while since I had been in any Spanish pueblos, and it brought back so many memories. I also just love the varied architecture of the buildings in pueblos from the different Spanish regions. I enjoyed the shops there as well - everything was "Made in Spain," and for the most part, there was no junk. Actually, the Pueblo Espanol was the highlight of my stay in Barcelona. Oh, well.
