What better place to hold an international conference on vitamin D than Barcelona, Spain? It could have been anyhwere, given that I spent most of my two days in the country stuck in a dark conference room, learning about the broad range of health benefits that have been attributed to vitamin D. I was able to try to get a bit of vitamin D myself, with a 2 hour rapid tour of the impressive city.

Fortunately, the conference was a good one, though primarily of interest to vitamin D researchers. Hopefully, I can return to Spain some time. I was able to enjoy some interesting seafood. Barcelona is apparently not known for type of food most people typically associate with Spain. Still, I am a fan of all good cuisine, and was able to enjoy an all-seafood meal with multiple courses that did not feel repetitious.
