Barcelona was mentioned, it's in Catalonia.

I didn't know that, I just looked up some info and they hadn't included it! The whole patron saint thing fascinates me, there's one for everything under the sun and more besides, as well as for every day of the year. Actually there's loads of them for each day of the year, fascinating stuff!
It's a lot easier being an atheist!

I was going to say that & he's happy tonight as they just cruised through into the semi's! :clap:
