I say “for now” because this is definitely a place I wish to return. I barely scratched the surface of this beautiful city. What I know is that it is rich with history, tradition, wonderful food, beautiful works of art, and the warm and proud people of Catalan.
I sent my “Barcelona clothes” home today (I forgot how much time a stop in the post office can take even in a cosmopolitan city like this. Stand in line, get a box and a label, pay for those. Take a number and wait in line to post it. There were three tellers and 23 ahead of me 😊.
I have time for just a couple more things on my list before my train heads for Irun and the start of my Camino on the 16th. I am going to the Picasso museum a convenient two doors up the street from my Airbnb apartment and then 9 PM dinner at what many rank as the #1 restaurant in Barcelona. I’ve had my reservation for three months!
Today was Gaudi day! Unbelievable. The Sagrada Familia is the amazing and far from finished Gaudi masterpiece. It is now officially a Basilica after the visit of the Pope and consecration of the church 5 years ago. It is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
