No trip to Barcelona should ever be complete without visiting Park Güell, Antoni Gaudí's fantasy. The view can't be beat and the architecture is unique and beautiful.
Seriously, Gaudí must have had a blast designing this place.
(P.s. that's not just the lighting, my arms really suffered in the sun)
They should really rename Barcelona the Gaudí City. Pretty much all the landmarks were designed by him. The park may have been the most fun, but the cathedral, La Sagrada Família was easily the most impressive.
We even climbed a super narrow staircase to the top of one of the 25 story towers for another incredible view.
The last day, we had just enough energy to climb Mont Juic and see the old (1992) Olympic stadium.
They still hold big events here, but this cat basically owns it.
I guess I can now say I'm an official world traveller after spending the night in the airport to catch an early morning flight. My dad managed to find the only set of seats in the entire terminal missing an armrest, letting him lay down.
These two French girls spent half an hour yanking all the armrests and muttering "how did he do that." They even discussed waking him up to ask before giving up and laying on the floor.
As sad as I was to leave Barcelona's sunshine and splendor, I loved knowing that Paris waited for me just across the Pyrenees. It's going to be a challenge accurately describing how much I love the City of Lights.
Bye bye Barca.
I'm disappointed no one PhotoBombed any of your pictures. Or did you edit them out?
