How to not sleep on the ground at the Running of the Bulls

Pamplona was founded in 75 A.D. by Roman general Pompei. The Casco Antiguo (or ancient city) has fantastic cathedrals, ramparts and moats - everything a city would need to it could survive and become a great city. The history is rich with Basque culture and language, Navarran food, and best of...

Parc Guell and other bits

This was our last day, so we set off to do whatever we had missed. In the morning, we went to the Sant Pere area, and successfully got completely lost. this had the positive side effect that we saw a wonderful area we would have missed, and in particular, the church that gives the area it's...

mainly rain and Gaudi

It was a wet day, so we set off to do inside things. For some reason Wendy didn't take a coat, I don't know why. Anyway, we took the metro, and found the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's famous church which is still being built. It is quite as amazing as it's reputation, and pictures probably work...

Mainly Montjuic

We decided to spend the day on Montjuic, which is a hill overlooking the city. On the way we passed through the extremely touristy Las Ramblas. Just behind it is the Merkat de la Boqueria, which is well worth a visit: fantastic fresh food, fruit, meat, and seafood so fresh it's still moving in...

Barcelona day 1

Going from the airport in Barcelona nto the centre by train was a bit unnerving at first, because it starts off really grotty: that area of the city is very new and industrial, and doesn't live up to the reputation the city has. Anyway, we eventually made the centre, and wandered around the...

GRANADA

What a cute town! I flew to Granada last thursday and stayed with Leah, my friend from Pitt who is studying abroad there. Leah was on my trip to Israel and we had talked about visiting each other and I am so happy that it worked out! I stayed at her Señora´s flat because her roommates were...
