After our surreal walk down memory lane, we stopped at the Gastón y Daniela showroom, located in a lovely nineteenth-century building near the Palace hotel. The textile purveyor, established in 1876, has long represented Spain in the world of high quality fabrics, and has a huge archive of patterns that run the gamut from staunchly traditional to reinvigorated classics. One such example is Sidonia, left, an updated version of 14th-century decorative element found in a cathedral in Bilbao. Photo 4 of 20 in Barcelona, Day Two by Amanda Dameron
