We had a rough night of sleeping. We slept on a loft style bunk bed, that I think is better suited for teenagers rather than two large adults. Every time one of us turned over, it would shake. We both feared that it may fall down, but I'm sure it wouldn't. We got up around 9:15 and left by 10 am. We parked the car close to the metro where it was free. Much better than the 25 euros a night that the parking garage was ...
... around. Sadly, also no bakery nearby. Breakfast tomorrow will either be orange juice or red wine, both of which we purchased this evening on our way back here. I can't remember if the wine or the OJ was cheaper...
After a rather decadent and unplanned 4 hour nap, we headed in to Barcelona proper to see what we could see. Started out at the top of La Rambla, the main shopping and dining out area near the harbour here ...
... hostel. This was a new experience for me, as I had never stayed in a hostel before. You can thank old German books or Eli Roth´s film for giving me the idea that every hostel was just one large room with a concrete floor concentrated with bunk beds side-to-side. This was not the case at all, I am pleased to say. An automatic, sliding door opened to a lobby area full of computers, TV´s, cooked food, vending machines, and good looking people smiling at me ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands beachbumaxpWe slept in until 11:00 am. I took a shower, but ran out of hot water at the end. DH called Maria, and she said she'd send a handy man out. We went shopping at the Boqueria, located a ways down La Rambla, for meats, cheeses, dried fruit, bread, etc for the party tonight. The Boqueria is an amazing market full of food stalls of every variety. The colors, the smells...all very vibrant. We tasted some fabulous Spanish cheeses ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands kitkatgo... long black hair but realised that the police would not take a little tomato sauce theft very seriously. So we left it at that and put it down as another life lesson. Besides the few times we were robbed in Barcelona I would have to say we fell in love with the city. We had a fantastic time in this beautiful city sampling some great food and drink, its wonderful beaches, outstanding architecture and lovely people. I would not hesitate to add it to any future European itinerary.
Barcelona, Spain vine_hooligans... esta afirmación consiste en que así se lo ha asegurado Rodbertus al señor Meyer. En 1879 aparece en escena el propio Rodbertus y escribe a J. Zeller (Zeitschrift für die gesammte Staatswissenschaft, Tubinga, 1879, p. 219), refiriéndose a su obra Zur Erkenntnis urserer staatswirtschaftlichen Zustände (1842), en los términos siguientes: "Se dará usted cuenta de que ella (la argumentación desarrollada allí) ha sido utilizada ya... muy bonitamente por Marx, naturalmente sin ...
Barcelona, Spain galaudiosaBARCELONA I flew on a Friday afternoon from Geneva to Barcelona with my favourite airline once again- Easyjet. Arriving and hitting the shops straight away l soon saw my Euros quickly disappearing- a trend that left me Euroless by Sunday afternoon. Spain and especially Madrid and Barcelona's shopping does terrible things to a girl like me! Amazing art, shopping and music....who can resist? What has room or money left for food? I sure didn't- l lived on bananas, yogurt ...
Barcelona, Switzerland mimmy21Finally - I got to go one of the cities I have always wanted to visit - Barcelona, Spain. Granted, I had to go through an hour cab ride to the train station and then a five and a half hour train ride to get there but that still didn't stop me from being excited. WWhich the trip there was an experience in itself. On this train, unlike my trip to Switzerland, we all had assigned seats in different cars since we had booked out tickets seperately. I just so happened to be in car not with ...
Barcelona, Spain mjohns41... the site of his life's great, unfinished masterpiece, El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Família. Gaudi took over the construction of the cathedral funded by donations in 1883. It has had a number of false starts, a civil war, and much criticism during its gestation, but for the last decade or so, funded largely by donations from Gaudi-mad Japanese corporations, construction has been full steam ahead again. It is now due for completion in 2020. Gaudi wanted the temple to ...
