Barca! Barca! Barca!

Posted by Jamie on June 10, 2007 8:26 AM | 

Hola from the B Hotel in Barcelona, just a Jonathan Edwards-stylee hop, skip and a jump from the Olympic Stadium in the Catalan capital.

The reason the blog has been quiet this past week is because I am on my annual jollies to foreign climes, and halfway through my first visit, this has to be one of the most remarkable places I have ever visited.

Apart from the fact the Barcelonins (is that right?) serve cake at breakfast and we have a smashing pool on the roof of our hotel, there is so much to see and do here.

Today, we are off to Gaudi´s nowhere near finished, but still impressive, Cathedral, and yesterday we took in another Cathedral, the Zoo and a quick stop at the beach.

As in most cities, the open-top bus tour gives a good idea of what to see and do if you take it early on in your stay, so that means the rest of our week will be spent seeking out Gaudi´s park, a quick jaunt to Sitges and maybe even a visit to a chocolate factory (slurp).

Adios!

Hope you're having a great time.

Don't forget to check out the Placa Reial (sp?) off Las Rammblas, and, if you like classic architecture, the German Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe.

Well Clive, I must say - the Gaudi is a tad Gaudy for my liking and there´s no Marks and Spencer. ¡Disgusting!

And of course you must sample several glasses of cava on my behalf. Here's the photo which I took for you on Sunday.
