Take 2. photos deciding not to upload so I'll try again tomorrow.
Today I walked 500 miles - at least it felt like it. I went back to investigate the places my cousin had shown me and first stop was the Palau de Musica Catalana - fabulous building full of stained glass and mosaics. I did the one hour tour which was expensive but I'm glad I did it. It was raining lightly, but warm. Next I walked around the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter for a couple of hours. It's really old and full of little shops and restaurants. I lost all sense of direction and ended up down by the marina where I found a nice outside table and had a lovely seafood paella and a white wine. By then the rain had gone. My feet were so sore(I'd been walking for about 4 hours by then) so I just sat for about an hour and soaked up the atmosphere. Then off again to look around that area and then back up through the Gothic Quarter. I came across a fabulous musical trio in a small courtyard in front of a cathedral so I watched them for about 20 mins - the acoustics were amazing. Somehow I managed to find my way back home without the map! Lots of walking in store for tomorrow!
