A tram ride through Barcelona in 1908

Very meditative -- you can see that 1908 was a different time, when people lived at a much slower pace and would stop and chat on the street. [EDIT] Starts at 0:27 -- I changed the "&start" time but it's not working.

Maybe I'm wrong, but... Set the video to 6:15 (at this point in the video we are on Av. R Argentina) and pull up Google Maps in another tab. Enter "228 Avinguda de la República Argentina, Barcelona, Spain," enter the street view, and make sure you are facing in the Northwest direction. Notice the hills on the horizon. A second or two later in the video, it looks like the tram begins to turn left and then it announced "Calle Graywinckel." Click ahead a few clicks in Google Maps and you can make the same turn on to "Carrer de Craywinckel." Google walk yourself west to the end of Craywinckel where you come to the typical European 3 road intersection. Compare this with the intersection we are approaching at 6:50. ??????
