The following morning Barcelona greeted us with the bluest skies. Off we went to explore the old city. We wandered around the Sandgrada and admired the inspiration Gaudi had to design such a tremendous piece of architecture. He started in 1882 and still hadn't finished when he passed away in the 1930's. They hope to continue his legacy and complete by 2025!!!
From there up to Olympic park to see the view of Barcelona. Next stop was Montserrat about an hour out off town. There we headed 1000m above sea level. At the stop is a small little village with a beautiful monastery. Many people visit there due to the black Madonna. I spent a good hour sitting on the side of the cliff face admiring the phenomenal view. Just what I needed to recharge the batteries.
In the evening it was great to catch up with Juan from Dubai. Being an ex resident he knew his wag around. Up to Tibibado ( can't remember how it was spelt) for an even higher view of Barcelona and down to the village behind for some paella. Overall another brilliant time in Barcelona!!
