Barcelona

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

Our last stop! We're so glad we ended here! We loved Barcelona :) I had fun using my Spanish to communicate! The city is clean and has incredible art all over the place! Everything is so cheap, it's beachy and fun, and it was the perfect ending city for us.

Our last AIRBNB

The view from our little porch!

We headed straight to the beach for the evening!

This picture reminds me of the O.C. and Seth sailing around on the Summer Breeze :)

In between the beach and our AIRBNB was a carnival! Every night we walked through it :)

Look it's a CRONUT!

La Sagrada Familia. One of the only sites in Europe we paid to see. It was totally worth it!

Parc Guell was next! I loved it here! It reminded me of candyland and I felt like the artwork was me in the outdoors. Antoni Gaudi's artwork and architecture was incredible to see!

Cody said "Look! It's your personality on a wall!"

We enjoyed some local Catalan cuisine...seafood paella! and of course SANGRIA!

Starbucks break! Mindy you would be so proud!

More Gaudi! Casa Batllo

Canaletes Fountain! Drinking from the fountain ensures a guaranteed return trip to Barcelona! Yippee!!

Las Ramblas - Barcelona's most famous boulevard!

We walked through La Boqueria Market and got some fun juices. Blackberry and a fruit we've never heard of that started with a P :)

On our way back to the beach we saw tapas in the window of a bar that looked fantastic so we stopped and got some!

Dinner at a local place near the beach. Cody ordered a drink that was 1/2 beer 1/2 Sprite and he really liked it! We had an interesting experience with our burger...the patty was steak not ground beef, which was a very unexpected surprise. It was the 1st time we had steak between 2 pieces of bread...and hopefully the last :) The garlic parmesan fries were fantastic!

Our walk back to our apartment was always super fun!

We ditched all our plans for the day and spent our last hours in Europe on the beach! It was a wonderful day and the perfect ending to our Europe adventure!
