Last full day in Barcelona

Today we headed out to Montjuic to see the castle and Joan Miro museum, take a gondola down to the port and walked along the beach to the Olympic Port where we had lunch, then up to La Sagrada familia.  The boys then took their last exam in the hotel.  We saved a great restaurant, La Cerveseria Catalana, for our last dinner.

Another full day in Barcelona.  After a civilized breakfast we headed for Guell Park, where Gaudi had planned to build a housing development.  We then hit the Boqueria, a market that rivals the Valencia market.  The boys were given money to find their lunch in the many restaurants inside the market.  Next was a tour of the beautiful Palau de Musica Catalana.  We then gave the boys free time to explore the city or go to Barcelona’s stadium, Camp Nou, for a tour.

We had a nice train ride up the Mediterranean coast from Valencia to Barcelona.  We checked in and headed out to see some of Gaudi's work at Casa Battlo and La Pedrera.  After a long walking tour of the city and the Rambla, we had a somewhat disappointing meal at a usually reliable restaurant.
