The long walk up Passeig de Sant Joan to get close to the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona, heading up Passeig de Sant Joan.
After the first view earlier from the coach, I had wanted to get proper photos of the triumphant arch. We almost went after the late lunch, but we went there before our evening meal.
This view from the Plaça de Tetuan. There was a cycle lane down the middle of the road.
The Arc de Triomf (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈaɾk də tɾiˈomf]) or Arco de Triunfo in Spanish, is a triumphal arch in the city of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. It was built by architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair. The arch crosses over the wide central promenade of the Passeig de Lluís Companys, leading to the Ciutadella Park that now occupies the site of the world fair. It is located at the northern end of the promenade, facing the Passeig de Sant Joan.
The arch is built in reddish brickwork in the Neo-Mudéjar style. The front frieze contains the stone sculpture Barcelona rep les nacions (Catalan for "Barcelona welcomes the nations") by Josep Reynés. The opposite frieze contains a stone carving entitled Recompensa ("Recompense"), a work from Josep Llimona's earliest period, representing the granting of awards to the participants in the World Exposition. The friezes along the sides of the arch include allegories of agriculture and industry by Antoni Vilanova and of trade and art by Torquat Tassó. The two pillars of the arch feature bats carved in stone, which were the emblem of King Jaume I, who ruled over a period of prosperity in Barcelona.
The tower block in the distance is the Gas Natural Building
Gas Natural Building, also known as Mare Nostrum Tower, is an office skyscraper located in the La Barceloneta neighbourhood of the Ciutat Vella district in Barcelona, Spain.
It is the headquarters building of the Spanish company Naturgy, formerly known as Gas Natural.

A close up look at the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona.
It is at the start of a pedestrianised park down Passeig de Lluís Companys towards the Parc de la Ciutadella (we would go to the Citadel Park the next morning).
It was a long walk from Avinguda Diagonal and down Passeig de Sant Joan, to get to the triumphant arch, but well worth it.
