Out and About in Barcelona

Barcelona is an incredibly vibrant city. The Gaudi influence is remarkable and we are staying in the extension (eixample) district which is full of very unique architecture and is a very trendy area of town. We cabbed it out to Park Guell this morning with a quick stop en route at Sagrada Familial, Gaudi’s most famous piece. Both were over the top in wow factor. We then cabbed it to Casa Batlo which was his first private contract for a residence, and the one he based around the water theme. From there we walked to Plaza Caralunya and then down the length of Las Ramblas. It was pretty crowded so we took some side streets back to the hotel and relaxed until 6pm when we joined the welcome meeting for the four new travellers who are joining us for the northern Spain portion. Sadly Rosie left the group as she was only on board for Southern Spain.Læs mere
