It was a privilege Senor Gaudi Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of the most exciting, vibrant cities I have ever visited. History, beautiful art, wonderful architecture, The Mediterranean, Great food and nice people, what more could you ask for.
My stay lasted for 3 days and as I travelled back to chilly England, Barcelona had already fixed itself into my list of all time favourite cities. San Francisco and Sydney please make some room for Barcelona.

|  | Where to go? The decision to go was made because:
1) I needed a break from work (who doesn't).
2) I was tired of the cold, wet UK winter (who isn't).
I also didn't fancy flying half way across the world for warmer climates, not this time anyway.
And so it was Southern Europe, but not just for the mediterranean or beaches. I wanted something of everything - culture, walking tours, views, food, nightlife etc.
Decision = Barcelona
|
| | What to do? What to see? The plan for the 3 days was to split Barcelona into 3 areas to see each day.
Day 1 - Barri Gotic, to include a walk around the wonderful medieval streets, La Ramblas, Picasso's museum, Palau Guell and the Parc de la Ciutadella.
Day 2 - The mountains, to include Tibidado, Parc Guell and Montjuic.
Day 3 - L'Example to include La Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila and Manzana de la Discordia.
