This morning I went on a walking tour to start the day. It was really cool to hear about the history of the places within the Gothic parts of Barcelona, Catalunya's strive for Independence, and more!
In the bottom center "tile" of stained glass is FC Barcelona!
"Street of the Cheesemakers" - couldn't not take a picture of something Wisconsin-y!
Old Roman Columns
Where Isabel and Ferdinand welcomed Columbus after coming back from the New World!
After the 3.5 hour tour I was very sleeping especially after not having coffee with breakfast, and decided I deserved a Starbuck's Frappuchino before finding a lunch spot
I then stopped at my hostel quick before meeting Marissa & Claire at Park Güell. Along the way I asked a couple for directions (which is a daily thing, at least) and they were also heading to Park Güell so it worked out perfect. The park is another design by Gaudí. It was beautiul and so neat!
We hiked up to Bunkers del Carmen after to see a 360 degree view of the city. Along the way we bought a couple bottles of chapagne and snacks. It was SO beautiful to see the entire city and the sunset! A friend from their hostel, Lincoln, also met us there.
On my way home, I stopped at Tapa Tapa for a light dinner. I ordered a small beer and moreno kebabs, only knowing that they were pork kebabs - when I got them, I was happily surprised they tasted just like pork Fina would make :) They had a lot of other amazing and inexpensive tapas to choose from, too!
