Barça, Barça, Barça!

We had the luxury of having free weekends, so we took the opportunity to travel to different parts of Spain. Each part of Spain was decorated with variety of languages, culture, and food. Our first stop? Barcelona.


Here are some of the views.


The metro we took to the airport

In the Madrid Airport; beautiful lighting

We took a trip to downtown to visit the famous Saturday morning market.

They sold everything. Check it, AK 47 on sale for 65 Euros ha.

Antique book store in the market.

Of course, the girls got their shopping on.

Afterwards, we visited La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece.

Gaudi's inspiration for the design of the architecture of the building was incredible.

We visited the Magic Fountain at night. This was a sweet treat.

By far the biggest fountain I've ever seen. About 50 yards wide.

This is a famous castle by the fountain which we attempted to spell out MSU with our bodies. The S is a bit sketchy, but it's all we had.

The next morning, we walked the streets of Barri Gotic. This is outside the Cathedral de Barcelona. Old folks were getting down and dirty in the plaza just outside the cathedral.

Roaming the street.

Couldn't miss out on the Pable Picasso Museum.

Later in the afternoon, we took the long hike upto the highest point in Barcelona. 

For sunset, we decided to take it to the sandy ground and check out the waves.

Our last day, we visited Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona.

Our last stop was in Park Guell. A kid playing with a giant bubble.

Gracy's favorite part, Guell's crystal benches in the background.
