Google's StreetView has expanded to include many European cities, including London, Rome and Barcelona. It isn't quite good enough to let us teach our study abroad classes in our computer labs in New Jersey, but it is a nice way to get a first peek at these great cities. This week we'll take some virtual tours of cities. Wherever possible we have embedded the StreetView right into the blog post, so you can click on it move it around or "drive" up the street.
We'll start with Places and Spaces' favorite European city, Barcelona.
The famous pedestrian way, Las Ramblas, before the crowds descend upon it

Some of the spots you can see would be hard for real tourists to visit accidentally, like the Calatrava bridge at Bac de Roda
