City of Barcelona - Part 1

It is 1am in Barcelona now and Em is soundly asleep. Since there is nothing much to do and I am not really sleepy, I decide to blog about our stay in Barcelona so far. This is our 3rd day here and we have 1 more day to go before we move on to Madrid. To all the soccer fanatics, it should sound familiar to you as it is where the famous club Real Madrid FC is. Anyway, let me tell you more about Barcelona first.

1st Day
The moment we reached our hotel at Barcelona, Em suggested that we go and try out authentic spanish food. The hotel reception recommended us to this particular bar and we tried out the "Tapas". I tell you it was YUMMY!!

2nd Day
For breakfast, we dropped by this cafe near our hotel. This is what we had for our morning breakfast =)


For the rest of the day, we went around exploring the city of Barcelona and these are some of the highlights.

Sagrada Familia
This is my favourite so far. A massive Roman Catholic church that is still under construction since 1882!! It is designed by Antoni Gaudi, a famous Catalan architect. This building is truly a masterpiece. Just look at the picture and you will understand.

Nou Camp Stadium
Our next stop is the home ground of FC Barcelona, the Nou Camp stadium that can accomodate about 100,000 spectators. Both Em and I are definitely not a big fan of Barcelona but I was thinking how can we miss out on the biggest stadium in Europe when we are in Spain. As a result, we decided to pay a visit. Hehee.. I wanted to take photo with the Champions League trophy but it turns out that we need to pay if we want to. Smart way to make money I must say!!


After the stadium, we went to a few more tourist attractions. It was tiring but enjoyable to see new things. I guess both Em and I enjoyed Barcelona more than Paris. More things to see, more to eat and definitely more to shop =) We will update on Part 2 soon so stay tuned while I get some sleep before hitting the streets of Barcelona again.
