SUNDAY 24 - WEDNESDAY 27 MAY 2009
After my two week visit to see Jess and help her find her first house, I returned to Barcelona. We managed some more sightseeing including the Plaza de Espana with its famous Magic Fountain, Montjuic, the Poble Espanyol, which was built for the 1929 International Exhibition and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya which has an impressive collection of art dating from 12th Century.
During the next couple of days we concentrated on Gaudi, visiting the Parc Guell and various Gaudi buildings, including the Sagrada Familia. We also managed a visit to The Ice Bar, where the temperature is kept at about -5 degrees and everything is made of ice, including the glasses you drink out of!
There is certainly plenty to keep you occupied in Barcelona, and would be an excellent choice for overwintering, as the prices at Port Olympic are very reasonable for long term stays.
We booked an extra couple of nights at the Marina as the weather looks better to make the 120 mile crossing to Menorca on Thursday.
MARINA: Port Olympic, Barcelona - 51 euros for 2 nights, including electricity and 30% discount.
