The first thing that strikes you from our apartment when walking is the broadness of the avenues and the planned design of the blocks and buildings. Many trees line the avenues and no more so than on the famous La Ramblas.
We walked down the very broad Avenue Diagonal to Passeig de Gracia, where we took time to admire the Gaudi Apartments. Continuing down toward the harbour we walked into the Gothic quarter and the Cathedral. Here we had a great lunch in a Pinxos bar with a wonderful array of treats.
Continued down La Rambla to the harbour where the three of us took a boat ride through the working harbour talking to an Australian lady working as an English teacher.
Used the Metro to return most of the way back. Sandy, Gail and I organised dinner in the apartment that again bettered most of the restaurant meals we’ve had in Spain.
