At 7-15 we had breakfast, at 8-00 we went to Barcelona. The weather in the morning was wonderful.

At 9-15 we entered the city, took a guide, drove through the streets. At 9-40 we arrived at Montjuic hill, looked at the seaport and the city for 20 minutes, took pictures.

Let's go further, drive past two houses of Gaudí , inspect them through the window, and by 10-40 we arrive at Park Gü ell.

We were given 40 minutes to explore, we walked through the park, photographed poisonous green parrots chirping on the tops of palm trees.

We walked around the square, under the square, past the salamander, we reached the lower entrance, took pictures everywhere.


At 11-40 we arrived at the Sagrada Familia. For 20 minutes we looked at one facade - the portal of the Nativity, then we went in from the other side and for 20 minutes we looked at another facade - the portal of the Passion of Christ. As we left, it started to rain. Part of the group was brought to the Gothic Quarter, the rest were brought to the aquarium by 12-40.

It's good that I had an umbrella in the bus, which I took with me. It started raining harder, so I sat for an hour and a half in the Chipiron cafe in the Magermagnum supermarket. I ordered bruschetto (tomato croutons), meat paella, a small bottle of Torres wine and surfed the internet.

At 14-20, having paid 27E for lunch, despite the incessant rain, I went for a walk. I went along the sea boulevard to the monument to Columbus and went for a walk along the Rambla.

I wanted to get a glimpse of the Gothic Quarter, so I immediately turned right from the Rambla into the second turn to the right (to Carres Dels Escudellers), reached the triangular square of George Orwell, was surprised by the sculpture of the All-Seeing Eye - the mysterious a wooden ball on a curved metal needle.

I got off at Carrer d’Avinyo near the building of the School of Applied Arts and Fine Arts, walked left two blocks, turned right and went out to St. James Square. I admired the Palace of the Government of Catalonia and to the Barcelona City Hall opposite.

Then I decided to find the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Pi, for which I returned to Carrer d’Avinyo, walked 100-150 meters to the northwest and turned left.

At 15-00 found, paid for the entrance 3E; inside you can take pictures and there is a toilet.

The rain stopped, and after looking around the cathedral and walking around the block, at 15-30 I went to the Rambla and went towards the sea. I glanced at the Boqueria market.

At the intersection of the Rambla with the streets of Hospital and Boqueria, I looked at the pavement with a mosaic by Miro.

Turned to stare at the Royal Square with a fountain, palm trees and lanterns by Gaudí .

Going back to the Rambla, I went up to one saleswoman, pointed at the map of Barcelona from TTV and said "Palau Gü ell". She said in pure Russian: "Do you speak Russian? " “Sometimes, ” I said, confused. – “Then turn around here and walk a little. ”



There was a small queue at the Palace Gü ell, about 20 people. I didn’t want to stand, it was already 16:00, and at 17:00 I had to be at the aquarium. I went to the Rambla and saw how street artists paint portraits. style="height: 600px; width: 800px" />

After the rain, some street statues came out.


Passing by the Chopin monument, I looked into a small courtyard with a playground.

The rest of the time I walked around Magermagnum and the surrounding area.

Photographed yachts and ships.


At 17:00 we went back to Lloret. It was also cloudy and cool in Lloret, a cool breeze was blowing from the sea, sometimes it was drizzling.
