and had something for dinner before going to bed...
it was funny to notice the diference - dinners up to 1h00!!
saturday we walked from Plaça d'Espanya to Plaça de Catalunya,
where we went in the area of Las Ramblas and Barri Gótic,
where the Cathedral is (very interesting cloister)
afterwards we went through the typical narrow streets,
and went through the old gates in the roman walls
we still went in the Santa Maria del Mar (big and spacious church)
and went towards the see and Barceloneta, where we had lunch
we proceeded to the imponent Hotel W building
and the came back inside (without cable car, the line was huge)
again entering the Ramblas through Plaça Colón
we still went to the La Boqueria Market in the way to the hotel...
the dinner was a fantastic surprise (we went back the following night)
in Pura Brasa, maybe the best coal grill I ever tasted!
on sunday we decided to start in Park Güell
afterwards (always with public transportation) Sant Pau Hospital
and, after lunch, the Sagrada Família (really impressive)
we went back to the Plaça d'Espanya area still in day light, before dinner
to take some photos from the top of Arenas
on monday we went straight to La Pedrera in the morning
and were again impressed with the architecture...
afterwards passed by Casa Batló (smaller, we only saw it from the outside)
and caught the subway in Plaça de Catalunya back to the hotel
to get towals and everything needed for the afternoon on the beach!!!
it was funny to notice it's so close to the city (accessible by subway):
lots of people come after work for a dive or playing some volley
but we missed the celebrations in the Magical Fountain of Montjuic
on tuesday, before catching the plane back, we went up Montjuic
where we saw the Olimpic Stadium and the Communications Tower
and far away the Montjuic Castle and the Poble Espanyol
the visit was really cool both due to the city and the sun and warmth...
with some luck, when we came back, the weather was also sunny!
