Barcelona

Barcelona was great. We saw loads of it in 3 days. It is a really beautiful city - lovely buildings, museums, coastline, restaurants, the central market on the Rambla. We bought a tourist bus ticket so saw most of the city from the open top of a double decker bus. The highlight was Gaudi - Park Guell, La Pedrera, La Sagrada Familia. We took the slow train at 9.30am and arrived in Valencia at 2.15p.m. A really nice journey - the train follows the coast most of the way - so hills on one side and the Mediteranean on the other - great.
