Barcelona

The plan was to drive to Como Ruga and find out how much the train to Barcelona was, but somehow our GPS missed that instruction and we ended up driving all the way to Barcelona. We took the scenic route along the coast. Stopped regularly to look at views.


We drove down to the port and parked the car. It was quite surreal that we were actually in Barcelona. There were people, lots of people, everywhere. The boys were quite clingy. We walked around the Mirador de Colom, then up La Rambla. There were statue street performers everywhere. The boys were intrigued.
 

 







Our lunch was 1 Euro ice creams. We watched someone put wood in the fire to cook some delicious smelling rotiserie chicken. According to the sign the   has been there since 1835!
 



 

 

 
Next we drove to Sagrada Familia. The boys had a quick play in the playground. We then walked all the way around the building. Amazing!
 

 

 

 

That was enough walking and sightseeing for the boys.
We went home via the toll road....going through lots of tunnels. It took about half the time of the scenic, coastal road.
