Pompidou

A slightly later start, more churros and a further attempt on the Pompidou Centre, this time safe in the knowledge that it would actually be open. It was really good, too – a very cool, mostly subterranean, building with long shallow walkways and stairs built around a big lightwell topped with a multi-coloured patchwork glass cube. Interesting exhibits too – I liked the David Bowie hologram by Tony Ousler, a bent-over little doll up against the ceiling, chuntering away (“Hey you, in the shirt. You with the face…!”) Then we went to the beach, swam in the sea and headed back to town for a late lunch at Meson Antonio – a very nice three-course menu del dia that finally brought us into some kind of temporal agreement with those Spanish eating habits…
