Barcelona 60s trip

This photograph of my mum and dad, taken on a trip they made to Barcelona in the early 60s, has always been a favourite of mine.  I like the way my mum is looking down and my dad is holding his sunglasses, like they are a little 'paparazzi' shy!


'Tibidabo' printed on the photograph is the mountain that overlooks Barcelona.

    Seriously, your Mum looks very Marilyn-esque and your Dad is totally rocking his look.
    Is your Mum perhaps curious about what your Father is carrying in the bag?

    PS: I can't hear the word Tibidabo and not think of a certain friends episode which centred on this name

    What an amazing photo! It makes me a bit homesick for Barcelona... a city that makes everyone a bit more glamorous!

    Very stylish! I would get this blown up poster-size for the house. Lovely.

    I can remember this photo so well and even the dress. So glamorous the pair of them. You'll have to find the one of mum coming down the steps of an aeroplane. This photo could easily be on the front of Hello magizine today. Pat x
