Excellent free bus service - took us about 40k right into the centre of Barcelona, and then picked us up again, two days on the trot! First day was St Jordi / St Georges which is a big celebration here because of the large English population... Actually he's the patron Saint of Catalunya, and they actually celebrate rather than us rubbish brits. So Friday was a mad day in the city with flowers and books everywhere. And people - everyone seemed to be in town for the day.
Undeterred, we went sightseeing and started at Sagrada Familia, nuts and how it will ever be finished is beyond me. After lots of walking we went underground (metro) to save Fran's legs and flitted around other sights and sounds of the Gothic quarter, the Ramblas, magic fountains and other bits including the parks full of people and parties. Day 2 we went to the beach bit and enjoyed a really hot saturday. Having walked a fair bit on friday I was planning on letting fran off on saturday, but I think we actually ended up walking further! Oops. There'll be a few days of low activity to follow as we cruise along the coast.
