Had a short flight from Nice to Barcelona, only 1 1/4hr. Great airport in Barcelona. Really large, spacious and clean and signposts in Italian, Spanish and English or pictures to explain. Probably the easiest to find our way around so far!
Caught taxi to meet Marcella at the apartment. Our taxi driver did not speak English so it was good to have a map. First thing we noticed was the taxis. Really distinctive yellow/black. Also the streets and the footpaths are wide. I suppose we have got so use to narrow lane ways . Busy but good atmosphere. Boys said straight away it looks a cross between London and Paris.
Our apartment is central, on the 4th floor. Really spacious - boys have a queen size bed each. A big change as a couple of places one has had to sleep on couch or share a bed. The apartment has almost like a renovated old warehouse feel. We are lucky to have a patio so can get outdoors.
We settle in and head out. We wander down the infamous La Rambla - main strip in town full of restaurants and tourist stalls. We go to a night market - it's fantastic as it sells a lot of fresh fruit, vege, cheese, sweets and meat.
We have some freshly squeezed fruit juices and buy some food. It's Monday night and it's busy and shops are all open!
We eat outside for dinner as it's still really warm. Day temp 27-28 degrees.
Tomorrow we're planning going to Camp Nou as boys keen to see the famous football stadium!
