Barcelona day tour with the Freys

Sunday's sunny weather provided a perfect backdrop for our Barcelona day tour. After meeting the Freys at their hotel, we began the tour at the Barcelona Cathedral. As they had visited the interior the day before, we skipped going in and began our route through the Gothic Quarter. Though the sun couldn't penetrate the narrow streets and plazas, the blue sky overhead and the freshness of the morning made walking the uncrowded streets a most pleasurable exercise. One of the highlights of the morning was definitely the "Trobada del Gegants" (pictured above), which had come from around Catalunya to strut their stuff through the old city.

After a tapas lunch we headed over to Sagrada Familia. The entrance line was fairly long but with our reservations we skipped right through. The exterior is still magnificent, but the enclosed central nave is, in the words of Mrs. Frey, "divine inspiration". Everything is so unique, so precise, that it almost seems impossible to discover everything at one shot. A visit up the towers for a magnificent view over the city and then back to the hotel to relax and enjoy the rest of the waning sunlight.

A thoroughly enjoyable day with thoroughly enjoyable people.
