After an absolutely incredible breakfast buffet (European style), we spent most of our second day in Barcelona touring the beautiful, old city atop a double-decker bus. We made a few stops, one being the Sagrada Familia - an unfinished cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi is a famous Barcelonean architect who designed many eccentric buildings around the city. After seeing many of his designs throughout the day, I think it’s apparent that we adopted our English word, gawdy, from this man. After the bus tour we visited the local, modern shopping mall by the marina via Rambla de Mar and then headed back to Placa Reial (an artistic square just off La Ramblas with several local cafés and a water fountain as is centerpiece). We enjoyed a fine dinner at another Rick Steve’s recommendation - Les Quinze Nits. After dinner it was back to the hotel for another full night of sleep.
