Heidi strutting by the harbour
This long walkway runs along the huge harbour, another place packed with people, especially on the weekends. (Monjuic is the hill in the background) Sept 8th, we headed back to warm weather and sunshine in Barcelona. Four days of perfect weather, back in our flip-flops and bathing suits. We stayed in the Albergue Palau Hostel in the Gothic Quarter, very quaint with its narrow cobblestone streets angling off in every direction, old worn buildings, and a funky restaurant and bar scene. Laundry hanging on clotheslines above , and all the locals out on their little balconies. The only bad thing was all the tourists!
We spent our days walking everywhere, from musems and the markets, to the harbor and beach, to the top of a big park on a hill above the city. The city comes alive at night, and we enjoyed the cheap wine and Sangria! Buskers and tourists line the main street, Las Ramblas, and the local beaches are packed with people. After cold weather up north we ended up spending a couple of days lying on the beach 😊
LOVED this city, it will definitely be one that we come back to some day!
