Highlights
Lots of walking to explore the city, exhausting but also interesting and relaxing . Endless opportunities to stop and look or eat along the way
Family dinners with our kind and generous hosts. Great time for discussion, getting to know each other and issues different countries face.
Barcelonas public transit, cheap convenient fast. It got us everywhere wee needed to go without hassle. Molly's first time using subways. Cool dude!
Watching champions league cup semi final match #1 between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The game was in Barca so we got to walk with all the crowds to the stadium and then went to watch at a restaurant.
Montjuic, old castle overlooking the city. Lots of work to walk up to, beautiful views and designs in the walkways along the way. There was an archery range set up right outside the castle walls, what a cool place to practice! I'm sure they all pretend they are knights whenever they are there ;)
Basilica of the Sagrada familia, amazing building, awesome. They have been building this for 140years so far and plan on continuing for another couple decades. If you are ever in Barcelona go here! A great work by Barcelona's favorite famous architect Antonio Gaudí.
I've never had a favorite architect before but now I do. The shapes colors lines designs are wonderful. We went to a number of places by him and they are beautiful, colorful, inspiring spaces. Looking forward to coming and back and visiting more of his work.
Parc Guell . Park and leisure area designed by Gaudí, look at the pictures. :)
Monserrat, monastery an hour by train out of the city, high up on the mountain/hill. Great views of the Catalonian countryside, next time we want to go camping there, it would be easy to spend days hiking on the trails and taking in the views. Great for rock climbing too, maybe someday :)
Food and drink were among the best on the whole trip so far, tasty affordable plentiful .
We had a wonderful time, truly it is somewhere we look forward to visiting again. We had the pleasure of getting to know our friends much better, what an amazing gift to add to our community such thoughtful kind inspiring people.
