In southern Spain, there's a little town called Alcoy where the downtown sidewalks are made of marble. The gutters are of cast iron, the hardware polished bronze. The effect is rather like being inside a jewel box. In three other Spanish cities I visited last month on a Calatrava-related odyssey, public spaces were just as vibrant. In Barcelona, my hotel overlooked Las Ramblas, the long, rambunctious boulevard that serves as the city's spine.
