1)Batllo House - architecture by Gaudi. It was truly amazing and every single room was just stunning. I love his use of light and windows - I have always dreamed of a house with huge windows and loads of natural light.
2) We loved these rocks covered in super cool graffiti on the main beach - I think that it is art but I know that it is a subject open to debate! |
3) This cute little band serenading us at Guell Park. The arches provided welcome relief from the sun and we just soaked it all in. |
4) Guell Park - full of beautiful sculptures and fascinating architecture and singers (see above!)I tried to get a picture with no tourists, but it wasn't possible. |
6) Maitea (aka The toothpick Cafe) - £1.75 per toothpick. Apparently this is the original tapas, called Basque, and the best part was that there was plenty of veggie options for me! Lots of cute little tartlets and gooey cheese. Read more about it and find out its location here. |
7) We hired bikes for a few hours on our last day and whizzed along to see the Parc de La Ciutadella and it was well worth the hassle and made for a stunning photo.
So there you go - excuse my poor spelling of the Spanish words. I am feeling lazy tonight and full of back to school brain fog! Plus I never did Spanish at school.

Linking up to Shimelle's ten on the tenth
This is great! I love finding tips from real people who travel and not just from people who travel just to write about it (if that makes sense). The Olympic Museum looks like loads of fun.
