Barcelona

5 months later, another trip to Barcelona. Take an 8 hour bus, is something I had already promised never to repeat again, but although it was hard it was also the cheapest way. Arriving at Barcelona, and the first surprise, A. was coming to pick me up in her scooter, so i had to carry my huge camping backpack and try not to fall down, very scary. Without the backpack, riding the scooter is really the way to cross the city, it's fast and easy to park. The night was spent in the company of BEST friends, we got together for some drinks and nightclubbing. The next day showed the colors of the city. It's magnificent, filled with life, very similar and yet quite distant from Madrid. I went to visit Casa Batló, it has a spectacular front, Antoni Gaudí was a real artist and visionaire. Will have to return again so I can visit the other famous Gaudí house, La Pedrera. Together with A., we went to the beach for some afternoon rest and siesta. Sunday is football day, so we arrived at the F.C. Barcelona Camp Nou with lots of people, if I hadn't somewhat forgotten about this, maybe we could've bought some tickets in advance and watch the match, nevertheless I got a scarf to support the team the next time i'll be there. The old part of town has it's own mystic, very cute and interesting. By nightfall i wanted to see La Font Magic, the famous fountain, that last time i visited was closed for cleaning, this time was no different, and there was no lights show on sundays. There are still a lot of places to visit in Barcelona, the next trip is already scheduled.
