Barcelona Spain May 3-4.
Sunday we had a final breakfast on board with our new friends from California. We picked up our
luggage and headed to the taxi line. It was quite long. We headed to our hotel right off the upper part of
Les Rambles. The Silken Les Rambles.
It turned out to be a very nice hotel for the amount of money I paid for it. The entire bathroom was made
of marble. There was a phone and sound system in the bath.
We headed out and started exploring the city. We bought tickets for the hope on and off bus. We got to
see a great deal of the city. We only had time to do one of the three lines. We first did the entire circuit to
see the city. We stopped at the sagrada familia took some outside pics. We then had very
unimpressive paella for lunch.
We then traveled up to the parc Guell and explored that for a while. The park was totally designed by the
architect Gaudi. From there we took the metro to the bottom of Les Rambles and walked back up to the
hotel as we enjoyed the sights.
It was then time to clean up, and get ready for the Flamenco show. It was right on Les Rambles so we
walked down to it.
The show itself was out of this world. The sangria was pretty good too. After the show we walked around
the gothic quarter for a bit looking for a place for dinner. Finally about midnight we returned to the hotel.
We got up early Monday for our flight home. We were delayed about 3 hours in Newark but other than
that the trip was uneventful.
