Eurosummer 2008 - Spain, Barcelona

Sunny, beautiful Barcelona! We packed up our little car, checked the map, and off we went! Once we crossed the border into Spain, traffic at the toll booths got very heavy - we arrived in Barcelona at noon, and once we found (!) the parking area, we went straight to Subway where we met a nice (ask the girls!) fellow who spoke beautiful english AND cooked us a great meal. We took the subway into the city, and decided to take the Bustouristic - the same kind of tourbus that we had taken in London. Very hot day - we did see most of the sights - including the incredible Sagrada Familia, the Olympics park, the royal family's city home, the waterfront, the incredible artwork & statuary around the city - lots of Gaudi influences, and more! The city was filled with visitors, we ended up grabbing a quick dinner (mexican - beer) and driving out of the city again - arriving home very late in Limoux the same day. Full day, lots of sunshine, and great sightseeing!
