A half day in Barcelona

Driving from Oto to Barcelona was lovely. Not much traffic on the road because it’s a long weekend holiday in Spain.

Some amazing scenery along the way following a beautiful river down the mountains.

We pulled in to someone’s backyard campsite. Lovely man and very helpful. Has the basics in place. Demountable shower and toilet block and plenty of shade.

After a rest, we drove into Barcelona after we found a place we could park the motorhome close to the Gaudi attractions.

We had a yummy Spanish lunch cooked by Nepalese people…they pass off very well as locals. I had a feeling they were authentic because they had a picture of dumplings on their menu. I asked Paul to check if they were Chinese and he said ‘No, they look local’. Lol.

We then walked around the Sacred Family cathedral designed by Gaudi and were godsmacked with the design. Too crowed to go inside so we decided to take a taxi to La Rambla which is a shopping district. Poor Paul.

However, there were some very interesting shops there. Plenty of souvenir shops owned by Indians, Bangladeshis and other South Asians…avoid them! Everything is made in China.

Via the taxi ride we got to see a few more Gaudi designs. Thank goodness for the long weekend, most of the city was not crowded.Læs mere
