Day 5

By day five we were both getting rather tired. The day before we had to get our flight was spent doing some final bits of sightseeing before the flight home . We had missed a couple of churches and we wanted to revisit the market. Them it was back to the hotel, to the bus and fly home. Getting home rather cold and tired late at night.

Day 4

Day 4 was given over to more  Gaudi houses and exploring La Ravel area of the cty.

Day 3 Gaudi Day

Monday is a day when many museums close in Barcelona. So we headed out to La Sagrada Família. It is such an iconic building I was quite prepared to be disappointed by it. The exterior is interesting but the interior is breathtaking an equal to any church I have seen. 


After we visited Parc Guell another area with lots of features designed by Gaudi. This was less spectacular. 

Barcelona Day 2, Sunday

Sunday was the day for a slow ramble through the narrow streets of the 'Barri Gothic' area of Barcelona. It was very quiet and we were able to visit lots of churches and museums. Not many shops were open but as we were not shopping that was not a great issue. At the end of the day we ended up in the square outside the Cathedral watching the band and the dancers.

 

Barcelona. Time delayed Blogging.

Today will be Day One of a time delayed blog from a trip to Barcelona. We have just got back and rather than spend time online while away I decided to Blog after the event.


Day One


The first day was travelling. The trip was very easy all connections were on time transits were easy and the weather good. We arrived in Barcelona on Saturday afternoon and after booking into the hotel we went out for a walk and then to see the magic fountains. This gave us a feel for the underground with a five stop trip.


The fountains only played on Friday and Saturday nights so this was our only chance to see them.


It was well worth the trip we stayed and saw two displays. After it was back to the hotel, food and bed.
