We
arrived at our Sensation Urban
Style apartment
late
afternoon & went straight out to explore.
On our
walk we came across this beautiful hospital (one of Gaudi's many
designs
in the city) not far from where we were staying.
Our
apartment receptionist had recommended La Piazzenza (on Avenue De Gauidi) for
dinner...
little L
was more enthusiastic than us, food was a bit of a let down. :-/
The next morning we headed out early to go visit Gaudi's
masterpiece, Sagrada Familia. I've seen countless photos but you really can't grasp
the sheer size of it or the detail involved until it's right there in front of you...
it really is mind blowing.
We then
wandered the streets of Barcelona taking in the sites & stopping off for
lunch at La Consentida (on Passeig Gracia - where there's
also lots of shopping to be done!)... haven eaten tapas most days for the last 2
weeks in Spain, this place was definitely the best we'd had and the resturant
also had a great family atmosphere.
After
lunch we jumped the subway & a quick bus trip up to Güell
Park.
I'd
recommend booking tickets in advance for the tour as the time we got there it
was fully booked. The next tour was in 2 hours time so we decided take a walk
around the park instead - which was still pretty impressive!
We walked
back to Avenue De Gaudi to go for something to eat and got much luckier this
time, we went to The Pharaoh Barcelona for some pizza
& pasta - little L's favourite!
