Picasso, Gaudi and a few days in Barcelona
We had breakfast at the hotel and then made our way to the train station. Even though it's not that far from Avignon to Barcelona it takes 8 hours to make the journey because you have to take regional trains that stop at every city along the way. There is also a 1.5 hour lay over in the border town of Port Bou. There we had a couple of beer with 2 …
