Breakfast was a feast – 5 huge tables – holding many yummy
treats – no continental breakfast here – no muesli – cornflakes etc. to be
seen.
We realised that we had left our power adaptor back in
Espalion. The hotel didn’t have any and
so our walk around Barcelona had a purpose.
A bit of trial and error and much walking but we found one that was
right and so we bought two. One for each
major case.
We bought some food and drink and went up to the Mont Juic
Park area to enjoy our picnic. Three
million people live in this small area – no wonder everything looks
crowded. We are just not used to seeing
this many people all day every day. The
traffic is heavy and it is quite a noisy place to be.
The afternoon was spent on a hop on off bus seeing the
sights. Gaudi’s cathedral and many of
his designed buildings gave Barcelona a very different look city to other
cities.
We walked back to the Hotel. We got a bit lost and walked a long way more
than needed. That evening we went to the
‘Old Spanish Village’ to a ‘Tapas and Flamenco night. It was great.
Pop loves this style of guitar.
The old town was really gorgeous.
I bought a small glass basket which had a Gaudi inspired design. Earlier in the day I’d bought an oil painting
from a young man – Octavia – of this Old Spanish Town. Home to bed as we wanted to get an early
start in the morning.
