Midway through the trip home

After the overnight bus from Madrid, we found ourselves back on Barcelona beach to sleep and enjoy the sun for one last time. Once we navigated the metro and the station for lockers, we spent some time relaxing before our flight later that afternoon back to London...goodbye Spain!

Hookers on plastic

Kim's mum arrives tomorrow so we decided to make our way to the south of Barcelona and scope out a nice camp spot. I was also hoping to catch up with two friends who lived in Barcelona but unfortunately both were away!

Arriving at the beach area south of Barcelona we found all of the camp sites closed and the beach area deserted. We also …

Bombes, Bombers and Ballistics in Barcelona

Bombes, Bombers and Ballistics in Barcelona
Bombes - delicious potato and meat filled balls of yummy tapas goodness. Mat was a total convert to the concept of tapas, which he had somehow never encountered before, and I think we may have tried every type of tapa Barcelona has to offer!

A long walk through the past

Da finestrelle e balconi di ferro come nei carrugi di Genova o nella Marina di Cagliari si affacciano vecchiette, borbottano i televisori e si intravedono le studentesse che si asciugano i …

Barcelona Dias Tres y Cuatro

Our second day on the Barcelona tour bus was a big one. I woke up at 730, showered had some breakfast. I had bought yogurt and an apple the night before so I could have a bigge and better breakfast then just cornflakes. But the apple of milly and the yogurt was not good at all.

Futbol at Nou Camp

Up early (6.30am) to get down to the ferry terminal in time to check in one hour before my 8.30am sailing. Upon arriving I saw a huge crowd queuing for boarding passes so I joined it. Twenty minutes later it started moving and it took over an hour to get to the front. The queue was because of all the Mallorca fans going to Barcelona for the game …
