Barcelona
May 26th, 2008 by Erin
I was in Barcelona for a few days last week. I don’t think I’ve been so impressed by a city in a long time. Really spectacular.
The highlights:
- Mies van der Rohe’s German pavillion for the International Barcelona Exhibition in 1929.
- Gaudi’s architecture - makes you feel like Alice in Wonderland.
- Mercat de Sant Josep - La Boqueria
- Endless paella
- and of course the beach.
Drawback:
I missed my flight back home because I missed the Renfe train by 30 seconds! So although it’s a great train (conveniently located, fast and cheap) it would be nice if it came every ten minutes instead of every thirty.
