After breakfast Tricia and I grabbed our sunglasses and hit the city. We wandered around the streets checking out the beautiful architecture, local markets, and the amazing beaches.
We had a mini photo shoot on the beach due to our excitement that it was February and we were able to put our feet in the sand and ocean. It was absolutely amazing!
After our photo shoot we checked out some local sand art sculptures and then grabbed a seat at an outdoor cafe that overlooked the Mediterranean ocean. We then ordered a pitcher of sangria and some Tapas. It was so nice to sit, people watch, and enjoy the sun.
After our day of exploring Barcelona we got to take part in an amazing tradition in Spain, a siesta. The entire town shuts down from about 3pm-5pm and people take naps. Gotta love it! After our siesta we got all jazzed up for a lovely dinner with you guessed it, more tapas. From there we checked out a local salsa dance club thanks to a recommendation from a local for a night of authentic spanish salsa dancing. It was fantastic!
Sunday almost all of the shops were closed so I navigated for Tricia and I to visit one of Spain's most famous tourist attractions, Sagrada Familia. The church was more than words can describe! The pictures do not do it justice and if you go to Barcelona, it is a must see!
After checking out the church, we decided to end our trip with a stroll by the docks.
We ended up at another little cafe for you guessed it...more sangria and tapas. It was delicious!
I have to say, having been to 26 countries Spain is definitely in the top 10. The people are lovely, the food is fresh and flavorful, and their vivid culture is present everywhere you look. I can't wait to visit Spain again in April when my mom comes to visit for my birthday. Until next time, I will see you on the internet.
