Bottleshop on Carrer de Hospital
Wine from the barrel - yes please. Activities
Sagrada Familia
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
Highlight(s)
- Lunch at Los Caracolos.
- The coffee man remembering our usual morning order.
- The Metro - Barcelona's user friendly train system.
- The laneways in and around the Gothic part of the city.
- Gelati count - 6.
Odd Spot
- Grid lock at Sagrada Familia - its amazing how one small sliver car can cause 8 buses to be held up for 5 minutes because the tourist driving was in the parking lane blocking through traffic. The horns were deafening.
- Bondi Rescue and Boston Legal in Spanish
- The hotel staff here are like a British Sitcom - although they are friendly and helpful, nothing seems to work or go their way. It's fun just checking out how they tie their neck tie each day. Today one of them had the back of the knot kinda at the front.
Weather
Warm, sunny day. High temperature 29 degrees.
