Andy and I finally got to go on a much needed break. Barcelona has been on my cities to visit list for a while. So last week we jetted off with friends and shared an appartment in Barcelona.I was slightly dissapointed that I had torn some ligaments as that curtailed my speed which in hindsight was probably a good thing. We arrived Wednesday lunchtime. Checked into the appartment which was lovely our bedroom had a lovely old wrought iron balcony over looking a lovely square with amazing green parakeets flying everywhere. It was sunny and warm, a world away from the blustery Glencoe we had left behind. We abandoned our luggage and headed straight out first stop lunch, we ate outside I had a
lovely goats cheese salad washed down by one or two glasses of rose we relaxed and let the world go by..
We took lots and lots of pictures way too many to share so I have selected a few of my favourites.
They dont really need an explanation.
For three and a half days we walked,bussed, fennicular railwayed and cycled the sights.
We were in awe of all the architecture european cities are fantastic.
The Gaudi buildings, the Cathedrals, the Roman ruins, la Ramblas,the Gothic Quarter
just a few of the sights we saw. These were mixed with great food some very good wines, amazing views cocktails on the 25th fooor of a hotel, to the best g&t I have ever had in
another.
All in all a fantastic time was had my need for culture most definately satisfied
with this trip. Interspersed with some romance,laughs and great company.
