Barcelona

It's the French school holidays again (they only did 7 weeks and now have another 2 weeks off) so we are on the road to Spain. A different sort of holiday from the summer as we stayed put in the same place near Barcelona for 9 nights (after a couple of nights on the way at a trashy family resort). We stayed in a lovely 3 story apartment as part of a house swap agreement. The complex came with 2 pools but we were the only ones who swam as it was too cold for the Spanish.

As well as swimming we had a good rest, went to the beach, played in the nearby park and visited the center of Barcelona a few times.

These trips included visiting the MOCO Museum to see some of Banksy's art as well as other artists'. Visiting the Sagrada Familia - the most awe inspiringly impressive church we've ever been too. Walking around the historic areas and seeing the Magic Fountain do it's thing. Unquestionably one of our favourite cities to visit and we're glad we took some time to do multiple visits. Of course we had to try the local cuisine with tapas and paella too as well as a visit to an Argentinian BBQ.
