Photo update p 4 Barcelona

we had a great time in Barcelona, both of us managed to switch off and chill out, a real break.

We hardly saw enough of all that there is to offer, but did go to MACBA, Gaudi's El parc Güell, the Sagrada Família, the mountain of Montjuïc, Parc de la Ciutadella, Mercat de la Boqueria and a few eateries and drinkeries..

Hotel lift - just like out of a black and white film and room - very boutique Market Hotel

Market and shops







and we thought that both the Netherlands and Rwanda were OTT bureaucratically - try paying for your 2 minutes parking!

there must be some really tall people in Barcelona.....

Flash Flash - the funkiest omelette house I have ever visited

Gaudi.. at the park Güell


we were there with a few thousand other tourists...

..beautiful architecture..





Sagrada Família

And did you know that Gaudi died by stepping back to admire the first stages of the Sagarda Familia and was run over by a tram? took them 3 days to identify his body!!! Bizarre!
