Barcelona, Spain

We covered plenty of ground today, in a short period of time.

We started the day off walking to Barcelona’s Arc di Triompf. I have no idea what triumph it is for, but it is another monument visited to add to the collection.

From here we walked to Passage de Gracia to see two more Gaudi buildings, Casa Batllo and Casa Mia - Le Pedrera.

From here we walked west along Arango, stopping at a café along the way for lunch, until we got to Parc Joan Miro. This barren park is named after its designer, who also made the mosaic/giraffe-looking statue. It will be easier to explain when you see a picture.

It is only a short walk to Placa Espanya. From here, where you have a great view of Palau Nacional.

Unfortunately, I started to feel a migraine coming on so we caught the Metro home instead of going to have a look. Back at the hostel we both had a siesta, even though we had only been out for four hours. I woke up feeling worse, so Roberta went to the pharmacy and bought me some Fiorinal for the migraine. She also bought back some KFC for dinner. The magic of greasy food. With that we stayed in for the night.
