Sand was not as white or soft as Scarborough beach, Perth or Redang ( as hubby mentioned), and not even as white as Bintan. But the atmosphere was different, many cyclists and joggers around.
We had fun and took a few nice shots anyhow.
We then walked back towards Llacuna station and saw a different face of Barcelona, the back alleys!!
Surprisingly, many closed shops ( bankrupt or lazy?? I dunno). And graffiti was everywhere. Some nice but mostly not nice. Oh wow Singaporeans are really deprived this way. We hardly see grafitti back home and the moment I saw them I felt rather uneasy haha.
Well the interesting walk ended at the Llacuna ( pronounces ya-hoo-na apparently), and took our first Metro ride.
Buying ticket was easy. Machine had english and cash option ( so much better than the Paris ones! only French language option and the young Parisian who tried to help me buy ended up conning me a hundred Euro! Buggerrrrr).
We chose the 4 day pass for 25 Euro.
From Llacuna, we took the metro to Ciutadella Vila Olympica ( where the zoo and newer modern buildings are).
And then the tram from Ciutadella to Glories.
Sheldon totally enjoyed all the train rides!
Choo-chooing, talking, commenting all the way.
Some stations had lift and were baby friendly but some don't have lifts so we had to take the escalator or staircases. So, hmm stroller was a bit of a hassle.
Once you alight at Glories Tram stop, you will not miss the sight of this amazing iconic tower. Agbar Tower.
We also passed the National theatre, though I am not sure if there were anything interesting to watch there.
Walked a little bit further and you will be greeted with the massive glories shopping centre, with 150 shops and many restaurants.
We were starving when we reached Glories Shopping Centre. So we stopped by some random tapas bar / restaurant and it wasn't that great.
The Paella was a bit salty and I was wishing I was having yangzhou fried rice, pardon my Chinese tummy. And the black sausage was just gross hahaa but the bacon was soooo good though. Or maybe I though it was so good cause everything else was crap. Sheldon was only willing to eat the fries ( spat out the paella)..so we had to give him his back up food and fruits, raisins etc and puree to top up. Oh well, boy is picky.
Anyway, here is the shopping centre. 
Check it out! Spaniards like to "Buy And Throw Away" too. Heh heh.
AndI didnt get anything cause I thought I'll visit the outlets the next few days instead. I had great self control! And so we only walked around, dirtied their floors and used their handicapped toilet to clean Sheldon's poo.
Thank you Glories.
We were so jetlagged, we decided to call it a day. We got back to hotel around 8 pm and Sheldon was already fast asleep on his stroller. So when I moved him to bed, I had to dreamfeed him his milk.
So, it is now rest time, enough blogging and tomorrow is another day... ^_^
