I think we are craving a routine! This morning we again went back to the same yummy bakery and then headed out for a walking tour. With same guide! The theme of this tour was just an introduction to Barcelona. He even remembered us and joked that we were apprentices in training. Standouts to me that we passed were a church that had been damaged during the Spanish Civil War and then later restored and Roman ruins, aqueducts and legends of Barcelona.
After the tour we headed out to La Bouqueria to grab some lunch and snacks for our beach day! A bit of a walk later we made it to the main beach Barceloneta. The sand was so fine blew in the wind. There were also lots of vendors of he beach including a drink service, which seemed to be rather successful. We had fun in the sun and of course had a little bit of a naptime. Possibly we got a little too much sun…. We walked back to the main city centre to have some paella. It is essentially similar to sopa de arroz, except with more spices and meat. We also had some sangria and thoroughly enjoyed this dinner unlike the night before.
We then walked across town to watch the magic fountain show. It is three hours long and goes with lights and music. It was absolutely stunning and the fountain was so much grander than I had imagined it to be! It was another late night and as we were working our way back there were still people out eating dinner. Spaniards are true night owls! We made our way back half asleep and crashed instantaneously as soon as we got into bed.
