Today was another travel day, a high speed train to Barcelona. We easily got back to the train station and got breakfast before going through the train station security.
Nice comfy seats and lots of diary writing to catch up on as well as sleeping for me! Also finally managed to win a card game, mum’s been absolutely thrashing me!
Got to Barcelona at 2:30pm and caught a quick 5 minute city train to our hotel which is in Catalunya plaza, right in the centre of Barcelona old town. Absolutely thriving with people (backpacks were on our fronts!) but our hotel was a lovely calm and quiet oasis in the midst of the manic street.
Went for a walk down La Rambla which seems to be the main tourist hub. Lots of food, drinks and souvenirs. Did a circuit home via the cathedral and Supermarket for dinner. Drinks in the hotel and an early night.
Dont forget the underground Roman excavation next to and underneath the Placa del Rei close to the big cathedral. Great site. Costs very little and has lovely clean loos. Barcelona is amazing. Love to both mum dad
