Our first night in the city we went up Montjuic hill, and saw the outside of the Art Museum, a beautiful sunset, and some great views of the city...
And also a fountain/lights show! The wind was strong at times, and we got a bit wet!
This is the Barcelona Cathedral, which was in the Gothic area of Barcelona.
inside - so many things to look at!
Another day we took a bus tour, and went up Montserrat Mountain. This is the main courtyard, with the monestary on the far right.
Then we took another funicular up to the very top of the mountain.
We went on a short hike, but the signs were confusing!
We were a bit scared by some parts of the trail, but we made it safely...
This was the building at the end of our hike - I think it was a small church - inside was just one big room.
At the top of the mountain
I have this picture of Lionel Messi (a Barca football player) because two of my students asked me to get his autograph for them. The closest I could get to seeing him was to buy a post card, and take pictures with it everywhere! :)
