This blog is in no way comprehensive of our travels... i just can't type it all quick enough.
Thursday 10th June
Arrive in Barca and head straight to the very very beautiful Park Guell which is only 10 minutes walk from us...up a very steep hill! But it was worth it. The view was incredibile, over the whole city right down to the sea. It was like being in a totally different place with all these exotic flowers and giant palm trees. The walkways take you further and further up the park!
Friday 11th June
Got a bit lost today looking for the main street in Barcelona. Ended up first at a cathedral where there was a little 'flea' (expensive antique) market, then it poured with rain and we had no trusty umbrella!
Went through a great food market where everything looked so delicious except the pig head on the butcher stands.
For lunch we stopped on La Rambla...total rip off. We asked for a beer and got served a LITRE at 12 euros! we didnàt want a litre! the paella was also horrible and when we complained we were told we didn't complain soon enough... great
anyway moving on.
We walked along the sea front and found a shopping centre where Rob got his haircut very short. Then we went to the beach which was nice after a long day walking around.
Saturday 12th June
The Sagrada Familia is a fantastic cathedral and when it is eventually finished it will be even better. We went up one of the towers and the details of the carving is incredible! To get back down you go down a tiny spiral staircase which made me feel pretty dizzy and got pretty dark in places too!
