The first day we visited the Placa Reial
And the Placa del Rei (where the tour guide was an unavoidable part of the package).
Up the hill another day to Park Guell.
Alan and Meredith visited Sagrada Familia and climbed the spires to share a view of the city.
The Barcelona beach.
Yesterday we went for a picnic at Montjuic followed by a hike up to visit to the Castell, overlooking the sea and the city it controlled for so long .
A visit to the CosmoCaixa science museum, where Meredith visited with a remarkably fresh-looking Albert E and some fish.
We also fit in a couple of special events: a Barca football game at Camp Nou their first night in town (where Pat and I enjoyed great seats, complements of Robert's and Alan's birthday gift to me).
And a concert at the Palau de la Musica.
Preceded by pinxtos in its cafe.Friday we took a day trip to Sitges.
In between touring we played euchre at our flat -- celebrating victories and near-victories appropriately.
And of course we did not neglect the food. Lunch in the garden at Can Robert.
Where Meredith was impressed by that Catalan specialty, butifarra!Tapas -- and dessert -- at Ciutat Contal.
And our last night we went for paella and sangria.
