There was actually some event going on and some people were in costume but we did not understand what was the event!


Narrow streets but along these streets where the good restaurants by the locals are. I think these people, most of them, are going for dinner... :) Just like us!


This one as we pass the Barcelona Cathedral...


I was told the locals do their dance weekly? Cool! I was impressed they just pass by and dance... Is this a Catalunyan dance??? Hmmm have to research more..


Street singers... but they were good huh! Look at their fans!


I was so tired here actually... SMile though your feet is aching.... as they say.. :)


We could not resist but to ask from the tourist center!


Uhhhh... my feet were killng me! Hmmmph!

Enjoying the Night Attractions in Barcelona

After treading the Ramblas during day time, and passing by the Barcelona Cathedral, it was a great fun looking around under the night sky and beside the waterfront... The images were not so good as my cam has "night sickness" but I just deal with it for "remembrance" purposes. :)

That's Chris Columbus monument there pointing to America.








I dunno who these two aliens are but I just feel good having pics taken with them... :)

The Paella with Sanggria dinner will be posted next... watch out for it! :) It was fun and warm in BArcelona but the cool breeze at night made me fully utilize my scarf... :)

Marina Port Vell Barcelona Experience

It was not all about the structures but also with other places. Although I missed a lot of photos due to limited battery life, I try to reconstruct everything and share the sunny days here with all of you and also for me for my remembrance that in the other side of this continent, the sun is shining strongly...

Just stealing a bit of shade as the sun was burning my skin... burning me softly... with your rays, oh sun...

That's your friend, the one who discovered America... he's actually pointing there... Your next door guy, Chris Columbus! :)

Just another photo... am photo addict y'know! :)

Another different angle... here.

This museu is in front of that place photographed in the previous image.

This way to the nig acquarium.... hey! i am full with big belly, not preggy huh!

Tired, burned and with deadly aching feet!

Uh uh hu! In motion! Such a funny move!

That's another teleferic. We rode the other one to the mountains... called Montjuic, not this one.

The Guided Tour of the Sagrada Familia Church

I will not explain the details of the church here, the meaning of the designs, the sculptures, etc but I am posting the images that were taken. Some of the photos though were taken before we were guided but the same, all around the grande edifice.

ANother batch is coming and later on, a new post, maybe here will explain all the meanings of the strange images.

Hotel Prisma Barcelona Experience

Affordable and good service. The service that we got for the price we paid was very well worth it. Thanks to the referral of ryanair for this hotel. Some of the images of the hotel are what you see below. I forgot to take shots of the bathroom but it has bidet and bathtub.... really not bad. No images of breakfast as well but well served though I suggested in their form that they serve more fruits or fruit varieties.

La Sagrada Familia Barcelona Images

The Gaudi creation, unfinished, as some of his other creations, the Sagrada Familia church was the first place we visited. At first, we just roam around outside from various sides and took our time just taking some photographies for good angles, strange sculptures and architectural design and for many other reasons. This is the unguided part of images, when we were still outside the gates. The images for inside, when we had the guide, will be uploaded later, two posts after this.

Since at this level, I have not so much understanding of the meaning of the stuff n the church, I will not tell them here but in the next batch of post about the Sagrada Familia Church (The Holy Family: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" church).

Landing In Barcelona Spain To The Hotel

After landing, we had to search our way to the city. We landed in Reus, Tarragona and still a couple of hours away from where we really wanted to go-Barcelona! We took the bus from Reus Airport to the rail station and from there, we took the train to barcelona. Bus fair from the airport to the train station was 2,30 per person while ticket for train was more or less Eur 7. It was not bad and it was enjoying to see the shoreline and the country side as we rolled our way to Barcelona.



Photo taken as we wait for the bus to come and pick us up, passengers waiting.


We were hungry and this cafe was a big help. The prices? Not bad for a cafe, they are generally more affordable than in Netherlands!


As I ate my sandwich, I was able to steal some shots at the counter of this cafe... "force of habit" for a blogger eh!
