Our day started with a guided tour.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
We went along with the tour as far
as the Roman museum, which was amazing. |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
By mid-morning, we were doing our
own thing, re-exploring a city which we had last visited in 2001. |
||||||
 |
||||||
La Rambla |
||||||
 |
||||||
The Market... |
||||||
 |
||||||
...with chocolates... |
||||||
 |
||||||
...fruit... |
||||||
 |
||||||
...candied fruit... |
||||||
 |
||||||
...and fish. |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
After lunch on the ship, we walked
back along La Rambla to the fountains |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
We did our own Gaudi (walking) tour,
stopping first at Casa Batlló... |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
...then Casa Milà... |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
...and finally, Sagrada Família. |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
We walked back to the ship via Plaça
Reial, just off La Rambla. |
||||||
 |
||||||
A view of the cable cars,taken from
the ship... |
||||||
 |
||||||
...with a view of Barcelona's "gherkin"
building, Torre Agbar in the distance. |
