A few days into our week in Barcelona we had to travel a bit further afield, further than I could comfortably walk. We had advance tickets to see the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, a truly outstanding and awe-inspiring architectural marvel by Antoni Gaudi. That visit warrants a blog post of its own. In the mean time, I will talk about how we got there. These two country bumpkins learned to take the subway. The greater Ottawa area, that we live in, has a population of about 934,000 so we do not have a subway and rely on our cars. The subway in Barcelona is efficient, fast, clean, modern, and relatively easy to maneuvre. It is an excellent and inexpensive way to get around. Besides that, the local people were always friendly and helpful when we looked like we didn't know what we were doing.
There were even dogs on the subway (as well as in restaurants and literally everywhere in Barcelona).
In my next post I will share an amazing experience of colour and light
Happy Easter Elaine. These are wonderful pictures of you and Pete enjoying the sights and sounds and scents of Barcelona. The markets look AMAZING!!! Can't wait for the next post!
