Barcelona by Day

This morning a local guide, Carlos Picasso, took us on a city tour. We got to see Sagrada Familia from all 4 sides, each side telling a different story.

We took a riding tour then & saw the stadium where the Olympics were held in 1992, then on to the top of a hill with magnificent view of Barcelona & the Mediterranean.

After this, we traveled about one hour to the top of Mount Monserrat where there is a monastery. Too bad it was such a gloomy day because the vistas would have been magnificent.

Our guide said it only rains about 85 days a year & wouldn't you know 2 of those days are while we are here:( Shouldn't complain though as these are the only ugly days we've had.
