Arrived in Barcelona at 8:00 AM. Plans today are to meet with Bob and Sheri and take a taxi to the top of Las Ramblas and walk back down to the marina area for tapas and sangria. We’ve all been to Barcelona before so we decided we would enjoy wandering around Las Ramblas. Weather beautiful. Mid 70’s with blue skies and bright sunshine.
Barcelona is the most important city of Catalonia as well as being the administrative capital. With a population of approximately 3 million, it is the second largest city in Spain and the largest of the Mediterranean coast.
Barcelona was the host of the 1992 Olympics which helped to rejuvenate some areas of the city, improving the roads and tourist facilities.
Below are some pics of the Las Ramblas area, including a market like none we’ve ever seen.
Here we stopped in an internet cafe.
After our walk down LasRamblas, Kos and I walked over the bridge to the marina area where we enjoyed our sangria, paella and calamari at the Tapa Tapa cafe on the water.
