Barcelona : Day 2




Breakfast at our guesthouse. Marcelo has got music on for us, makes us thick, frothy coffee and opens up the balcony for us.


What a beautiful morning in Barcelona.




Brunch at the Mercat de Sant Josep, a food market along La Rambla (the only good thing worth seeing along that street!). It isn't the cheapest seafood platter, but it surely is the most satisfying.




You see bits of Gaudi all over Barcelona - it's as if he singlehandedly built this whole city.


My jaw literally dropped when I saw the Sagrada Familia, yet another Gaudi masterpiece. The most amazing thing about the church is the fact that it has been in construction since 1882 and the completion date is only set at 2026. Absolutely incredible.


While up on Parc Guell, we were approached by this young spanish couple to help take a picture for them. Turns out they were the very same couple sitting right behind us while on the flight up to Barcelona. What a small world!




The journey up to Mount Tibidabo took us 2 bus rides and long wait for the tram, but it was completely worth it.










Do you know that they teach mandarin in Barcelona primary schools? Thank god mine wasn't bad enough to understand what they were saying!


Wished there were more sights like these during walks home everyday.
