So ... in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI found a wonderful atmosphere, a beautiful city, art, music, color, and I found the Spaniards, friendly people, smiling and friendly.
In large cities, from what I've seen, usually all race and go straight on their way to Barcelona instead people are smiling, they look in their eyes.
But first things first.
30.04 - Finally, we relive the exciting time of departure. I love waking up in the morning, open the shutter, look at the sky and sigh thinking about the flight that will take us to our destination.
So it was Thursday morning, we left the house at the airport and once there, you feel already on vacation. Flight
perfect, punctual arrival in Girona at 13.30.
arrive in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bafter passing through a green landscape, and immediately take a taxi, as we read on a site that NN are particularly expensive (and in fact we'll take it frequently during our short vacation), to reach the hotel.
say a few words on the hotel that hosted us: absolutely perfect! Nn
we'll find the receptionist so nice, nice, great guy, multilingual (it should be obvious but it is nn!), Who have coddled and recommended for four days. The hotel
nice, clean, comfortable, close to Plaça d'Espanya, opposite the bus stop "normal" and coaches.
The stay was pleasant thanks to them!
And then ... C'E 'IL BIDEEEE'! XD
refreshing shower, and around 17 we leave the room with the intention of giving
an initial overview of the city center.
So we dedicate the afternoon to stroll along the Ramblas
, obviously there is a hallucinatory confusion, a lot of people walking, he stopped to see the talent shows of the various street performers are scattered here and there. We
a healthy break at Dunkin 'Coffee Cause I eat between 11 and we need sugar (no
better than the donut when you need sugar) and fresh fruit to Boqueria ... no sarcasm this healthy, fresh fruit, served in small plates and eaten with the fork on the Rambla has a nn I know that delicious.
Unfortunately it started to rain, let nn give up but the rain soaked increases and we retire to the hotel in order to be fit for tomorrow and get to the heart of Barcelona.
01.05 - No Rain leaves us in peace even on the morning of Friday
May 1 and 9:30
morning we have our feet wet.
We head for the Park of Montjuic, where among the many interesting things to see there anche la Fundacìo Mirò, museo dedicato alle opere di Joan Mirò, che, da appassionati d'Arte, nn possiamo perdere. Ripercorriamo le tappe artistiche della vita di Mirò, dai primissimi lavori semplici e facilmente "comprensibili" fino a quelli più astratti con figure surreali che si sovrappongono e dai colori vivaci e ben definiti, nelle opere che preferisco, o cupi che si confondono. Pranziamo nella tavola calda del museo, ci rilassiamo un attimo e andiamo via, col sole che splende...finalmente.
Dal piano superiore scoperto del Bus Turistico, Barcellona scorre intorno a noi, con le sue sculture bizzarre sparse nella città, Barceloneta e il Porto, il monumento a Colombo, le
piazze crowded. We arrive to Sagrada Familia and dedicate the afternoon to visit the church. Or rather, the yard.
Because of this it is.
for charity, it is certainly a masterpiece of modern architecture and I upped Gaudi (nn that I have never particularly enjoyed) seeing his work on stage, but the Sagrada Familia has left me a little 'bitter and disappointed! Sorry because I thought of its creator, Antoni Gaudi in fact he had planned something big and eventually managed to complete only a small part in comparison to what
had in mind.
Within walking between the rows, the concrete blocks, is a real site that, as
I said, I was a little 'disappointed ... but nn Having never liked Sagrada, I was still happy to have seen her live to realize how majestic.
repeat is certainly a great work, but personally I nn wowed. And I'm sorry.
Back at the hotel, shower, and since I forgot his notes at home with interesting restaurants and bars, including the name of the restaurant suggested by Silvietta, ask for suggestions on where to eat a good paella, because we want to eat really good!
We recommend a restaurant in Barceloneta and arrive at the restaurant greeted by a series of festive "Hola! Hola! Hola! ".
The Salamanca is a very simple restaurant, with a lot of hams hanging from the ceiling and the smell of fresh fish, homemade remembers the inns, as a bit 'noisy, where the waiters running from one place to another without too much attention, but where the food is divine! And indeed we do have time to sit nn that already bring us an appetizer of bread, like bruschetta with tomato and olive oil and a dish with sausage in the house. Very good and spicy
! We order the paella, but before an appetizer of fried calamari and octopus.
And here's the paella ... if we had known that with the paella we could easily eat 3, maybe 4 people will have taken the starter nn No and maybe we all ate the toast with sausage. Something incredible! Really very good, but definitely too much ... I feel like dying.
The final blow me from the grappling hook
"Made by us! Homage of the house! "... Yu-uuh what turns her head!
An evening stroll along the waterfront is a must.
02.05 - definitely stand in line in front of the museum is a nn of the funniest moments of a trip, but if the museum in question, the one dedicated to the great Pablo Picasso, is located in a beautiful little street of the old town, and c ' is a guitarist who plays English music, the moment becomes very pleasant and the time flies.
The Picasso Museum is another interesting place that we can lose ... No Picasso is best known as hallucinatory (direi. .. only) for his Cubist works of the period when in fact there are a lot of beautiful works before that time. Also interesting are the erotic drawings, where portraits of his friends are dealing with oral sex, group sex ° _ ° etc etc, and his work on ceramics.
After a quick snack, we head to Parc Guell park designed by the famous ... that crazy, talking amicably, Gaudi. The gingerbread house (which is called nn so but it seems to me that the old Hansel and Gretel!), The Salamander, the terrace we have witnessed a
wonderful performance of a handful of (toxic) rasta ska / reggae, monstrously good, the colonnade ... No you never stop to see!
Back at the hotel, tired but nn we stop, we must spend the last night in Barcelona before you go and we can think of two niches that we are still lacking.
The Magic Fountain ... it shows. The photos and video, nn make even the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bthe show we see.
Around midnight we take a taxi to head to a bar very special: the Bharma.
The Bharma SYIAL story about how a bar is devoted to Lost ... molto piccolo, nn ci sono tavoli, è un baretto con un banco, degli sgabelli, un paio di piccoli tavolini ottogonali e due schermi su cui vengono proiettati
degli
episodi di LOST.
Sono le decorazioni che rendono il tutto speciale.
Entrare dentro ti porta in una sorta di tunnel, frequentato da appassionati che inevitabilmente finiscono col parlare di LOST.
Torniamo in hotel, distrutti...sono le 2 del mattino, cominciamo a preparare la roba da mettere in valigia l'indomani mattina...malinconia!
03.05 – Abbiamo un'ultima intera giornata da passare a Barcellona, la
reception ci terrà le valigie as long as necessary, so we are moving towards lighter Casa Mila aka La Pedrera.
very special as all the works of Gaudi ... too cute ... cicci children's room!
deaths from hunger and fatigue, have lunch at Tapa Tapa, a resort town in front of Casa Batlló. Phenomenal (the local)! With 25 € for two, we tasted eight different dishes ... a really nice place and
as always nice and friendly staff!
Battlò House is located just across the street. I prefer to Pedrera, perhaps because of its attraction to the sea, soft and rounded forms that resemble waves.
short visit to the Hard Rock Cafe, to FC Barcelona for a souvenir, buy a football for my brother, and a taxi reach
Poble Espanyol in Montjuic.
Here you find yourself catapulted into another dimension ... leave behind the big city to find yourself immersed in small ways the features of different countries in Spain. Nn literally know where to look, everywhere you turn there are small shops selling anything ... necklaces, earrings, all handmade, beautiful stained glass objects, everything is fabulous (and more expensive than H & Mj! T_T) .
A nice way to say goodbye to Spain.
It is time to leave.
"Barcelona is waiting for you, whenever you want you are welcome back! "says the guy at the reception. I nn I would go right. On the bus
nn speak ... we are tired but above all a veil of sadness envelops us. We look out the window of the bus, quiet, with a nostalgic smile face Barcelona goes.
