2nd day in Barcelona
From Europe - The Second Time Around in Barcelona, Spain on May 08 '08
SO IT DOESN'T RAIN IN SPAIN? ARE WE SURE? . This morning we woke up for breakfast and much to our delight we were served a full hot buffet breakfast. It was fantastic. Once filling up with breakfast we headed back upstairs to grab our things ready for the bus at 8am. The city tour included the below
So it doesn't rain in Spain? Are you sure? ........
Arc De Triomf, which almost sounds like Arc De Triomphe ( In Paris) It was similar to that nature but the colour was reddish. We went by the Magic Fountain of Montijuic. Very spectacular. We made a stop at Sagrada Familia - Roman Catholic Church. Construction began on this church in 1882 and to this day, continues as we witnessed all the cranes attached. It was amazing and very large. The details of the church were breathtaking. Without the rain you could easily stand there and admire the building from bottom to the top. In the rain proved very hard as well as taking pictures. We took note of the individual sculptures on the church. It is a must see if visiting Barcelona.
Unfortunately it was a very miserable weather in Spain today so the tour was fun however very unpleasant even with umbrellas and raincoats. The tour guide tells us that out of the 365 days in rains approx 85 days. We happen to experience the horrible rain. It was a wet wet day.
