Barcelona Part 2


The next day started off with a nice Spanish Hot Chocolate and cheesecake for breakfast.  Kayla had a coffee and croissant.  Then we went for a bit of a walk.  We saw the Arc de Triomf, walked through a park with palm trees and a huge map of Barcelona, walked along La Rambla and went to some markets.  There was so much fresh food it was fun just to look around.  I also learned that they sell all meat with the head still attached so that was a bit frightening. 










We bought supplies to make guacamole and then we went back to the hostel early due to rain and just had a relaxing afternoon.  In the evening we did a Tapas Tour, tried some nice food and learned how to drink wine from a traditional wineskin (bota).





On day three we took a walk to the beach.  Played in the sun and sand and then took a cooking class to learn the art of making Paella.  It was a really cool experience that we saw on trip advisor and decided to try.  It was at an apartment near our hostel and we prepared everything as a group (there were 5 of us plus our instructor), then as it cooked we got to enjoy the sun from her balcony looking out over Barcelona and the sea.













After the cooking class we went back to the beach because I just couldn’t get enough and we spent the evening looking for sea glass, watching the planes come in and the sunset!
