This city is amazing; always SO alive, day or night. We had 4 days to explore and we spent every minute seeing and experiencing all this city has to offer.
We started by taking the metro to Camp Nou and ended up doing the Camp Nou Experience (which is a tour of the Stadium and Clubhouse). It is very apparent that the FCB is a much wealther club than Real Madrid, the stadium is beautiful! For non-soccer (football) fans we sure had fun on this tour!
We spent a great deal of time focused on Gaudi's Barcelona and toured Casa Battlo and La Pedrera as well as making a visit to Park Guell and the Sacrada Familia Church. Gaudi was a genius, what more can I say. You need to see and experience to truly understand how unbelievably beautiful these sights are.
Our explorations of the city brought us to La Barcelonetta (while on the hunt for the Fish), which resulted in us walking along the sand with the wind whiping our hair and the salty spray from the rollers ensuring that I spent the rest of the day looking like a chia pet. I warn you, don't go near the pier as you will see many naked elderly lady parts!
Other points of interest include the beautiful grounds of Montjuic, the Gothic Quartera and La Ribera, all of which are definitely worth exploring. If we'd had an extra day we would have made the day trip to Montserrat as well.
Our nights included a walk down Las Ramblas to find a delicious restaurant for dinner or to stop in to the Mercat de la Boqueria as well as drinks in El Born. Barcelona has very intereting night life.
Barcelona was fun but we're ready to move on to Morocco!
