Touristy barcelona day

Some must visit sites in Barca are those by Gaudi. Of course, he is uber important in the history of architecture. A genius, ahead of his time who created out of this world masterpiece.

La Sagrada Familia, the unfinished and still under - construction church is the most unique I have ever seen.

St Paul's and Notre Dame was beautiful, but not one is quite like La Sagrada Familia. The best thing to do is buy your ticket online in advance or else the queue for the ticket will be ridiculous.

Next most important site is of course Parc Guell, do learn about their histories, very interesting.

Both places are crowded and not so stroller friendly. Remember to keep your belongings close to you. Beware of pickpockets. 

If you like Gothic churches, Santa maria del mar, located in the old town with pebbled back alleys and totally medieval feel would be a good visit. 

Sheldon didn't want to go in though as I suppose it was rather dark and poorly lit at night so daddy had to wait outside while I just grabbed a quick look.

However daddy enjoyed his "people watching time" outside the cathedral.

Passers-by, tourists, locals, all seem to be happily enjoying their enchantes evening.

While you're there, turn a corner and visit the Picasso museum too.

Sheldon didn't quite enjoy these though. They were meant for the parents to enjoy I suppose. It's ok, we take turn, yesterday was his day.

We learnt quite a lot of interesting facts about Picasso but we don't quite resonate with his paintings so we didn't buy any souveniers back. Hubby said he doesnt understand them. haha. 

We bought Sheldon a Picasso - Barcelona T-shirt though, he chose it himself. In Barca, even the touristy T shirt souveniers were artsy, gorge and different. 

We had another food comma meal for dinner ( totally overfed), slightly out of the way, at North Barca, we had romantic Spanish dinner. 

Their Fiduea was more like fried beehoon with sotong. Was very happy to find anything resembling food back home! haha. Less heard of internationally, but I think it's worth a try!

Sheldon slept throughout the dinner else he would have loved the char bee hoon.

Ah but did I mention? 

The hotel Le Meridien at La Rambla is so gorgeous. Such a different feel in this side of town, more buzz, more crowd, more vibe but still very cultural, breath taking and artsy. Most of the hotels are really gorgeous too as they are in refurbished classic old buildings. Esp. Hotel 1889 opposite Le meridien. So so painfully gorgeous.

I can't get enough of just looking at the facades of all the buildings. All different, all gorgeous. 

Sheldon is loving the spacious room with. great view!

 However La Rambla gets a little noisy at night with party goers. So you may need earplugs at night haha. 

So now I am gonna look for earplugs. Good night.

Tomorrow we are going to the Football club Fc Barca! My Fave!!!
