Last week was a "reading week" for me at University and so instead of doing all the reading I probably should have been doing, I went to Barcelona for a few days with my family instead!
It was an incredible trip and we did so much sightseeing, exploring many of Barcelona's top attractions:
- Flamenco at Palau Musica Catalana
- "Arena" shopping centre at the old bullfighting ring
- La Sagrada Familia
- Casa Mila
- Park Guell
- Picasso Museum
- Boadas Cocktail Bar
- Magic Fountains
- Santa Maria del Mar Cathedral
- Las Ramblas
- Barcelona Cathedral
I thought I would share a few of my photos with you all, showing some of my favourite places that we went to...
La Sagrada Familia was by far my favourite place that we visited in Barcelona. It was the most incredible Cathedral, and 100% the biggest I've ever seen. It was designed by Gaudi over 100 years ago and is still being built today! The main interior of the cathedral was breathtakingly big, with massively high ceilings and beautiful stain glass windows in different colours covering the walls.
We also visited Park Guell and Casa Mila which were both designed by Gaudi and had amazing architecture. The amount of detail and work that went into his designs was just incredible.
"Boadas" is the oldest cocktail bar in Barcelona, and definitely made the most impressive cocktails I've ever seen! They were as good as they looked...!
This was a view from just above where the Magic Fountains were... unfortunately we showed up with hundreds of other people to see them and they weren't actually on that night due to a change in times for the winter!
I had such a fun time in Barcelona with my family and I especially loved seeing all the amazing buildings with the crazy architecture! I hope everyone else who had a half term had a good one! xo
