Real change of gear needed now. Big city with some serious sights to see, and some reasonable distances (probably no more than a couple of miles, but it adds up). And seriously busy – not compared to itself in high season, but busy enough.
So no meandering about and making stuff up on the hoof – this is serious planning and buying tickets online beforehand.
Found the cathedral
And Park Guell – or at least the outside – only open for residents before 9.30.
First morning I had a call, so Eileen took herself off to Pedrera (a Gaudi house)
Afternoon headed over to the port area and a Picasso Miro gallery
And finally walking back up La Rambla (not as busy as we feared, but nothing special)
And an old fashioned tapas bar near our (astoundingly quiet, central) apartment.
