DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3 DAY 3

Today the program is filled with two walking trails. The Barri Gótic route and La Ribera downtown. You walk through all kinds of small streets. It is a pitty that most of the stores are closed. It is nice to walk, but very quiet on Easter day. THE cathedral we pass is being renovated. Inside there is a lot of gold (blingbling) and ofcourse many statues en paintings. Many things to see. After we walked the first trail we decide not to walk the other. We went for the beach!

It's kind a strange such a big city so near to the beach. Ofcourse we have Scheveningen, but that is of a whole different order. We wanted to lay down on the beach because the weather was so great. Nice sunny and warm. Dont' forget to get some sand for my collection!! We walked back through the harbour in the direction of the Ramblas and before you know it the day is almost over. In the evening we got in line at 19.45 for THE restaurant in Barcelona: Les Quinze Nits at Placa Reial. Quality for a very good price. The restaurant opens at 20.30 and it is not possible to make a reservation. During the waiting we were entertained by a clown. Indeed the food is of a good quality and delicious. Fresh pasta, chicken without tissue, wonderful. The service is also good, but not very friendly. You can see there is a lot of pressure due to the line outside the restaurant. They want to serve as many people as possible. So if you wanna eat here, consider that you have to order very quickly. Quality food with a fastfood service.
