Jenny and Jaume very kindly gave us an itinerary for our day exploring Barcelona today- it was great to have all the local tips. We have had amazing sunny weather since arriving in Spain and it has been a lot warmer than the previous two countries which has been nice.
Sights of the day
- First stop- Sagrada Familia Basilica. It is so intricate, feels more like a piece of art than a church.
- You thought the Arc De Triomf was only in Paris, there is one in Barcelona too and it is beautiful
- Indoor ruins of Barcelona, really interesting history and well preserved
- Next a walk to the coast line of La Barceloneta for lunch (paella of course!)
- Great view over Barcelona at Mirador de Colom
- Walk down La Rambla including a beautiful Cathedral where we watched the bridal party enter for a wedding along with a lot of tourists.
- Plaza Espanol where there is an old bull fighting ring
Unique busker of the day
It seems in Europe (especially in Spain) there are many special talents waiting to be discovered to use for busking.
We couldn’t pick just one winner for today- it was a dead heat between the amazing sandcastle builder with fire inside or the man doing acrobatics with a giant ring.
Sport of the day
Last minute spontaneous decision to get tickets to the Barcelona FC game after we saw it was on that night. It was Barcelona vs Mallorca and Barca won 5-2 which was exciting. Got to see 3 Lionel Messi goals!
