Bon día from Barça!
Tour bus time again! It's about getting getting a sense of the city and good snaps from the double decker.
This morning we were told that tomorrow is a holiday in Catalonia, meaning that most things will be closed. (Which is OK given that some rest is needed.)
Here's the tour snaps:
Below are a few buildings that represent the diverse nature of Barcelona's architecture:
The next images are of La Pedrera designed by Gaudí:
A random building with an interesting façade:
Casa Batiló designed by Gaudí:
A few more interesting buildings:
A few images of the Playa Catalyuna:
I don't recall what the next few are...once I figure it out I will update:
The tip of the Gothic Cathedral, as the streets are too narrow for the bus to get down:
If you look down the street and see the colorful roof, it's the Mercat St. Catarina:
Again, will have to add the name of this building later:
More interesting façades:
Roy Lichtenstein sculpture that was added as part of the public art program for the 1996 Olympics:
