Barcelona

Today wasn’t the most exciting day. A big chunk of time was spent on the bus driving from Valencia to Barcelona along the Mediterranean coast.

We had the morning to ourselves in Valencia so Trace and I went for a walk along the old river bed of the Turia River. Like I said yesterday they diverted the river back in the 1960s so its old river bed is a 10km strip of green parkland with gardens, bike tracks, playing fields, and walking paths.

It was nice to just walk along in the cool of the morning. We left the river bed at the old city gate we visited yesterday and wandered around some of the old town. We stoped for a coffee and then hopped on the bus to Barcelona.

Initial impressions of Barcelona is that this is a very relaxed town. The architecture is really stunning with wide boulevards and more focus on pedestrians than cars. We saw a couple of buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi plus a number of others that were equally impressive.

Dinner was a really good tapas feed followed by a slow walk back to the hotel.Baca lagi
