Spain, Heavy Rain in Barcelona

A freshly mowed lawnAfter the rain

That was such an exhausting day, but at the same time we had real fun with all those events.
First of all, we started our morning with breakfast at nearby cafe, which was visited mostly by local people. 
Later we went to the Meditarranean aquarium with 80 metres long underwater tunnel, where you walk among the sharks and other baleful creatures.
After aqua world, we went to taste jamon at the most famous market in Barcelona - La Boqueria, located on the La Rambla street. 
Finally, there was an unsuccessful attempt to reach the impressive Park Guell. Unfortunately, we were caught by a heavy shower, so we had to turn back almost having reached the destination. Nevertheless, we were happy to discover a really nice cafe Maigot, where we had a good lunch and fresh coffee.

Spain, Close to Sagrada Familia

Sagrada Familia as a background

Today we have moved to Barcelona to explore this vibrant city more closely. For temporary living we have chosen the apartment, which is located only in one hundred metres from majestic construction of Sagrada Familia. The apartment was booked through Airbnb website, and we were absolutely satisfied about our choice.

Spain, The cosy streets of the old city

The railway of Tarragonna

The second day of our staying in Tarragona turned out to be the dull one, with drizzling rain. However, it was not able to spoil the overall impression of the city. In fact, you can endlessly walk in the streets of the Old City and admire local architecture even in the heavy rain.
