The very clean and efficient metro.
Once checked in to our hotel we walked to Guelle Park, which is home to Gaudi’s planned, unfinished and failed housing development turned city park. The architecture and style are right out of a Dr. Suess book. There’s no other way to describe it… just look...
Gaudi's style.
Finally, for dinner and an evening stroll we braved the fascinating La Rambla street with it’s endless people, shops, restaurants, market, artists and “other” things. We had our first tourist tapas and the worst Sangria in history. Let’s move on.
La Rambla has an energetic vibe that is infectious. It was great to stroll slowly down the street to take in the atmosphere and people.
Today we started with an open air, double-decker tour bus around the city. This would allow us to see a large portion of the city and it would give us transportation to the Sagrada Familiga, the still unfinished church by Gaudi. When we passed by the chuch the lines to get in we over one block long. Crap! We, along with the rest of the tour bus, decided not to disembark and settle for pictures from the moving bus. Too bad.
