So instead of me trying to explain every little thing that we did during our 10 day vacation (since I already wrote it out on paper) I have decided to make this a short/summed up version!- with lots of pictures instead.
Day 25:
First day in Barcelona, the hostel is amazing! The family that owns the hostel prepares breakfast and it consists of bread/baguette coffee juice or tea and a muffin. Very filling and lasted us until 2 or 3pm! Today was mostly a exploring and shopping day! We found a main shopping area and for lunch we went to this huge Asian buffet (Japanese I believe) that was all you can possibly eat for around 10 euros! It had both prepared items and raw items that you could get cooked in front of you hibachi style.
We went out and explored the nightlife a little bit and then hit the hay!
Day 26:
We slept in today. It was almost the afternoon and Pedro (the hostel owner) still was willing to prepare us breakfast! It was so nice of him.
We took a walk down the street called La Rambla, which has tons of little stands and souvenir shops and leads all the way down to the boats/docks. Tonight was our first experience with tapas and Paella (not homemade). Both were very good but the Paella, I must say, is much better homemade.
Day 27:
Bus tour day! Today we toured two different bus lines (red and blue) which took us to see almost all of Barcelona’s major historical and tourist sites. I would of liked to explore these sites more thoroughly but the girls preferred to stay on the bus. Today’s lunch was at another buffet called Fresc Co. it was like a deli, salad bar, grill all in one. It was sooo good and fresh. We did some more shopping and headed back to the hostel for a siesta.
We went and checked out the nightlife again tonight and found some places with great music near the beach.
Day 28:
2nd bus tour day! Today the bus line went by the beach and sites near the coast. So naturally today was going to be our beach day too! Since we did this tour we were given a coupon book, which contained a coupon for subway for 2 foot-long meals for around 13 Euros! It was a great deal and Jessica and I decided to split one coupon. It was the perfect lunch for the beach—but we ate half of it before we even got there.
The beach was beautiful and the water was absolutely the perfect temperature to cool you down but not make you freeze either. After the beach Jessica and I got lost on the metro, rather we got on the wrong metro and ended up on the countryside. It was beautiful to see, but not when you have to use the bathroom! Ps- there are no public restrooms in these stations in the middle of the country. Below is an image of the station we ended at, not underground, not in the city.
After an hour, we finally made it home and began to pack ☹ it was our last night in Barcelona so we decided to take one last look at the city before we had to leave.
Adios Barcelona!
