Upon arrival in Barcelona, we headed into the city to hit the ground running. First stop a coffee and a quick snack to adjust to being back on the ground, then we headed into the city center, cameras at the ready and explore all the streets and buildings of the Ciudad Comtal. The morning passed quickly as we twisted and turned through the gothic streets, stopping to sample some traditional sweets and delving into 2000 years of history.
A quick stop at the hotel to check in and freshen up and we were back on the move. We headed over to Montjuic mountain for a panoramic view of the city, a great way to get an overview of the week that awaits. The wind picked up a little bit but nothing too bad, as we took in the views over the port from the Mirador del Alcade and then up to the castle. A coffee in the castle courtyard and some great conversation is one of moments that sticks in your memory. To end the day we drove down to the beach, to walk in the sand along the Mediterranean.
Next up is a visit to Montserrat!
