We arrived in Barcelona with Tyler and Sophie around 8pm on Friday night. We freshened-up, changed clothes and headed out to a restaurant Sophie researched. There was an 1.5 hour wait, so we put our name in and went to another place to get local Sangria, which was excellent. We headed back to the restaurant and ordered about 15 different tapas (little appetizers). There were mini-sandwiches, calamari, fried hot peppers, potatoes with mayo and hot sauce, cuttle fish and of course dessert. We enjoyed more local Sangria and called it a night. On Saturday, we got round trip bus tour tickets (the ones where you can sit on top of the bus). The weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed the sites all over the city. Looked at the Gaudi buildings and garden, cathedrals, Olympic stadium, little shops, etc. We also walked in the famous Las Ramblas area and visited the huge, local food market. For lunch we all got Paella type dishes. We toured the city for a few more hours then went back to the apartment for a cat-nap. We decided to go to dinner in El Borne. El Born is a quaint, older, cobblestone part of town that is amazing. We got more tapas again and they were even better than the first restaurant. On Sunday we went to the Picasso museum, saw more sites and then headed back to Geneva.
