Day 16 - Park Guell/Camp Nou/La Rambla/Old Town/Casa Batlle
Today we woke up
earlier at 9:30 to do some extreme sightseeing. So many things to do in two
days. First we caught the tourist bus to Park Guell, an amazingly abstract park
which was really interesting. Gaudi is the famous artist or Barcelona , designing the Sagrada Familia,
Park Guell and the Casa Batlle, and in all of his art he uses many curves and
mosaics, it is very interesting. Nothing normal with him. Then we moved on to my
personal favourite, the Camp
Nou , home of FC
Barcelona. It was stunning and meant a lot to me! I was very excited indeed. It
is a 100,000 seated stadium so it is very large.
Next we stopped
in on the main street, la Rambla and had some lunch. Next we walked to the Casa
Batlle, another strange creation of Gaudi. Following La Ramble down to the port
we strolled along watching the port, and then walked through Old Town
and saw the older cathedral, also impressive. Continuing on Ash, Eduardo and I
made it to the Arc de Triomph and the surrounding parks and explored there. We
finally headed back to the hotel, after 8 hours of straight walking, made it
back and relaxed!
Later we headed
out to dinner and viewed the Sagrada Familia at night, unfortunately not many
lights highlighted it! We then returned to the hotel and got ready to check out
tomorrow!
