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!
