After a four hour train ride up the eastern coast of Spain, Chris, Tacker, Geoff and I arrived in Barcelona.
Amazing city. Very cosmopolitan, with lots of French influences. It's a very stylish city, with amazing architecture, especially Gaudi's works. Seeing Parque Guell and Sagrada Familia were definitely highlights of the trip.
We stayed in an amazingly nice hostel on the northern end of Las Ramblas. We didn't do much else than just walk up and down Las Ramblas and explore the Barrio Gotic, but there was so much to do in this area that we could have spent two more days doing the same thing. The Picasso museum was great. The museum was set up like a time line, and it was a great way to get a sense of his evolution as an artist.
Sunday night we took a bus back to Valencia (it was cheaper) and arrived at an Irish pub in time for the Superbowl. Patriots disappointed, but it was a comforting to see the game while abroad.
