Day 37 – Tuesday 28 March

Barcelona, Spain (Day 3 of 7).

Our friend, Monique, joined us for breakfast in the Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria.

We then started another walking day, first partaking in a guided tour of the spectacular Palau de la Musica Catalana.

We then had another delicious tapas lunch, this time at - http://www.latorna.com/ - at Mercat de Santa Caterina.

We then strolled to the Arc de Triomf de Barcelona.

We then visited the Museu de la Xocolata, and sampled some of the products.

Next, we visited the Mercat del Born, the historic market building, now an exhibition of its history.

We then strolled through the lovely Parc de la Ciutadella, with its ornate fountain (partly Gaudi-designed) and the Parliament of Catalonia building.

We then walked to the Barcelona’s waterfront, the home of the Barcelona Fish.

We then caught a bus to the Columbus Monument, walked through the charming Placa Reial, had a quick dnner nearby, then went back to our hotel to rest our weary legs and feet.
