Day 12 - Barcelona

It's a beautiful, sunny day in Barcelona! We docked about 8 am and were met by our tour guide at 9, as promised. Here's our means of transportation for the day...




Barcelona is a lovely city, which we're told was revitalized for the 1992 Olympics. It's famous for artists such as Picasso, and the architect Gaudi. Gaudi is known for his whimsical style, which reminds me of a Dr. Seuss story, and tile mosaics. There are several buildings here that he designed, including the cathedral that was never finished. Here are photos of some of what we saw...

Now we're having lunch in a cute little restaurant just near La Boqueria (the market) where we'll head next before returning to the ship.

A great day in Barcelona - can't wait to come back!
