      "Cervesa, beer. 1 euro." - Beach Pöbles

      5 Julai 2016, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

      Day 2 in Barcelona! I cannot reiterate enough... i love this city.

      We started out the day by snoozing our alarms... Between the heat and the men throwing metal around outside our window at 6am (what is the purpose?!) ... We needed a little extra sleep.

      After a few rounds hitting the snooze button, we finally got up and started our day. Stop #1 was the fruit market for some much needed fruit breakfast! I had raspberries and a multi fruit juice which was the perfect way to start our day. We then headed out to the hop on hop off bus for our day checking out all of the sites Barcelona has to offer.

      We started out on the orange line: line number 1. On this line we travelled around the east part of the city. We saw various sites and structures (including the port, the beaches and some beautoful towers) but the most amazing stop was the Sagrada Familia. Still under construction, this gorgeous basilica was the masterpiece of the architech Gaudi.. And it truly is a masterpiece. We couldnt get inside because the tickets were already sold out (noooooo) but we took plenty of time to wander around the facade and take in the beauty. I cannot begin to describe how this church looked.. Pictures honestly don't even do it justice. If you get a chance to go... Go.

      Next up, we toured around and saw a few more areas of the city which gaudi had a hand in designing, and learned about the various quarters and thebreasoning behind each of the buildings. Barcelona honestly has one of the most interesting architectural layouts I have ever seen, and it seems like every single block has a reason for existing.

      After heading to the mountain (tibidabo), we came back to the starting point to meet our friend Pheobe for lunch. Now if you guys don't remember Pheobe, she was one of our first roommates in Dublin at the hostel. We added her on facebook befoee she left and have been watching each other as we travel. We just happened to be in Barcelona at the same time, so we decided to meet up!

      We had lunch at this cute place on the Las Romblas strip called Moka, and honestly the food was so, so good. I had a veal burger with all the fixings and a special mushroom based sauce and omg... It was delicious. It was so reasonably priced, honestly we might go back tomorroe. So after an extended lunch just chatting and resting, Pheobe went to check out Sephora (at our recommendation) and we headed out to line #2.

      The second line was a tour through the Olympic village and upper class housing, various castles and churches and epic streets. Our favourite stops, however, were the lookout at the height of the mountain which was absolutely AMAZING for its views. We snuck onto the restaurant patio for a panoramic view (ok, I bought oreo ice cream) and the headed back to the bus for the next few stops. We ended up at Camp Nau... Football Club Barcelona's stadium. Unfortunately, it was closed but hey... We can go back tomorrow!

      After all of the touring, we headed back to our place to grab a bottle of wine and are now sitting on the beach, drinking it and taking in the sights. One more day ahead of us in Barcelona, more adventures await!

      Playa del ...

      Mitternacht (naja fast). 20°. Das hat schon was. Könnte man sich daran gewöhnen.

      Vorne sammelt die Polizei die letzten „Strandler” ein damit geputzt werden kann. Hinten ist noch richtig viel leben. Könnte man sich daran gewöhnen.Baca lagi

      Barceloneta

      17 Mac 2018, Sepanyol ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Mit der roten Hafenseilbahn (Teleférico del puerto) fahren wir spektakulär mit großartigem Blick über die Stadt und den Hafen vom Hang des Montjuïc bis nach Barceloneta. In diesem Viertel der Stadt wohnten früher hauptsächlich Fischer und Fabrikarbeiter, erst 1749 ersetzte man die ärmlichen Baracken durch Steinhäuser, die immer mehr in die Höhe wuchsen und damit enge Häuserschluchten bildeten. Die Kriminalität war hoch und lange war dieses Viertel eine No-Go-Area. Die olympischen Spiele von 1992 änderten vieles in Barceloneta: Häuser und Straßen wurden renoviert, eine breite Strandpromenade geschaffen, wo sich heute viele Fischrestaurants befinden. Die breiten Strände laden zum Verweilen ein, sogar bei nur 15 Grad heute tummeln sich hier viele Menschen. Wir suchen eine Tapas Bar und stärken uns erst einmal.Baca lagi

      Platja de Sant Miquel - San Miguel Beach

      2 Ogos 2021, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

      Sant Miquel Beach is situated between the beaches Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta. It was transformed into a beach in 1755 and is one of the oldest of the city.

      Most of the day was spent here just soaking up the sun and enjoying the scenery.

      While Laurie did her perfunctory "dip the toes in the water", I did a bit of swimming

      I don't write the stereotypes...

      5 Julai 2016, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

      I dont know where to begin!

      When we left off last night, we were sitting on the beach drinking a bottle of wine. Relaxing on Taylor's beach blanket, watching the sunset and trying to unwind before leaving for Madrid tomorrow.

      Well fast forward to 5am... Now theres a few cases of beer gone and we have made new friends from England, Ireland and France. I love Europe. We make friends with then most amazing people.. Many love to share their beer with us! #RIPromper

      So after walking home obviously completely sober, we slept for a few hours before getting up to pack and check out. Now if we complained about the room being small, crowded and hot before... That's nothing compared to trying to deal with it and a hangover. Ohhhh boy.

      Needless to say, we survived.. Packed our stuff, brought it to the bus station via metro (where we 300% almost passed out) to lock our bags, and set off for our last day before the bus to Madrid at 11:30pm.

      First stop: Camp Nou, Football Club Barcelona's home arena. Now we all know Im not the largest football (soccer) fan, but it was an incredible feeling to stand in one of the worlds largest arenas and feel what it must be like to be a fan or a player. I learned so much about football ⚽ and we even stumbled upon a hockey arena (leave it to the Canadians)!

      After an AMAZING lunch of spaghetti (followed by a burger for me), we headed to the boardwalk by the beach so I could pick up some goods from the street vendors and soak up the last of the beach before heading to the bus station. When it was finally time to leave, we hopped on the night bus and were taken to Madrid by a man who seemed like he had never driven stick in his life. 8 hours later, we are in Madrid! Olaaaaaaaa 🌊

      Vueling: Making Ryanair look Luxurious

      4 Julai 2016, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      This post is going to encompass nearly 48 hours, only because thats how long our day has been.

      Let me explain.

      Day 3 in Brussels: time to wake up and check out, spend the day in brussels and take a late flight into Barcelona! Yay! We get up and out of the hotel by 10am, head to the train station to store our bags and start wandering the city. Except it start to rain. Hard. I'm talkinf torrential downpour, people... We had to duck and run for cover most of the day just so we were dry for the plane. We explored the city for the last time, but theres not mucb to report as this is a city you honestly could see in a little over a day.

      5:00 rolls around and we decided to head to the train station to frab out bags and catch a ride to the airport. We get there around 545 to check in and as we drop our bags, we are informed that our 9:25 flight may be delayed by 2 hours and will leave around 11:25. Although this was annoying, we understood that these things happen.

      We grabbed a bite at quick burger (which is McDonalds on CRACK... SO GOOD) and head to the gate to wait for he flight.

      That's when the BS ensues.

      As we are waiting, I happen to glance at the screen at the boarding gate and notice there has been a gate change.. No announcement and no delay had been posted, just a change of gate. So we pick up our stuff and head all the way to thhe end of the terminal. It is now nearly 9:00 and we see no groundstaff or plane, so we check the board again.... Delayed until 11:35? We expected this, but due to he hassle they issued us a voucher for 8 euro each. Want to know ehat you can get in an airport for 8 euro? Not much.

      So we grab our drinks and head ro the bar area to watch the iceland game. As the game is coming to a close we decide to check the screen again and there is another delay.. Until 12:30am. Now I could go on and on about how they kept ccanging the time without telling us, and the angry tweets and emails we sent to Vueling, but in the interest in keeping me calm I will just say we boarded the plane nearly 6 hours late and left after 330am.

      Once we arrived, by the time we grabbed our bags, took the metro in the city and found the airbNb we were staying in, it was well past 6am and we decided to not sleep and just start our day.

      First ... Our airbnb. Our first experience in Prague was great... This one is good enough to sleep in. Thats all we will say about that.

      So we got in, dropped off our stuff, put on pur bathing suits and headed to the beach. We arrived at the beach just past 7 and promptly fell asleep until around 1030/11. (this might have a little to do with the giant lobster like burns covering most of my body) Now when we went to sleep, the beach was seriously empty. When we woke up.. We were packed like sardines!

      We stayed out for a while longer and decided to head out for a day of shoppi g.

      After a quick wardrobe change, we headed to the shopping district where we stumbled across this amazing food market and FRESH FRUIT. FOR CHEAP. WE WERE SO EXCITED... EUROPE HAS BEEN A FRUIT WASTELAND THUS FAR AND WE ALL FREAKED OUT TO HAVE SOME FRESH FRUIT.

      After we wandered around a few shops, were in awe at how cheap everything is here (honestly) and ambled back down to the beach where we are now sitting enjoying the peace of the waves.

      And drunk people. Britney lost her shoes in the ocean again, guys. Right up to her fanny pack.

      Tomorrow is a new day.. Hopefully we will be more rested and ready to go!

      Ciao
