Our run of fabulous days has finally come to an end. We woke up this morning to an overcast sky, and on and off rain with the temperature around 60 degrees. It wasn't a total washout but we didn't get to see a couple of things we really wanted. But that's the way things go sometime. It certainly didn't spoil our day.
Last night our entertainment was a local Spanish Flamenco dance group. They were absolutely terrific. So today we decided to just walk around on our own. We strolled down the La Rambla which is a main shopping area very near the dock. Found a fantastic Market place where they were selling fresh fruit, vegatables, meats etc. I also found a great little wine shop and picked up four bottles of local Spanish wine.
So it was back to the ship early, and we went up to the Lido and got some cheese, crackers, and sliced meats, went back to our stateroom and popped the cork on a bottle of wine. A great way to end the day.
I can tell you however that two days isn't even enough to really see the city. Hopefully someday we can return and spend a week or so here.
Enjoy the pictures!
Hello, I will be in Barcelona Spain in just about a month. So wondered, did you end up going into Gaudi's Church? Is so what is the entrance fee? Also did you go into the above Gaudi building and on top of it to the chimnies? Entrance fee? WE did the hop on hop off when there last year in Nov 2008 and found it to be great but rained the whole day. HOpefully with our ship ending in Barcelona and us staying a couple extra days - we can see more.
