The Beginning of the Trip - Espana

For the last two weeks I have been in Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ - which was really rather fun.  I set off the Tuesday before last to Barcelona, where I have never been before.  I was on my own and to start with spent a couple of days getting to know this really rather large city.The first day I wandered about the old city, which is fun - lots of small winding streets and I got rather lost.  I came across all sorts of things - many little boutiques πŸ‘—πŸ‘ πŸ’(a scarf, some sandals and a necklace made by El Pez Dorado may have been purchased..), I stumbled upon the cathedral β›ͺ️ quite by accident, and found some really lovely parks 🌳 full of weird and wonderful architecture and sculpture πŸ—½, my favourite was Parc de l'Estacio Del Nord πŸš‚πŸŒ³.In the afternoon I headed over to the main streets to look at Gaudi's architecture 🏰.  Gaudi's architecture reminds me a lot of Dr Seuss 🎩🐱 - all higgledy piggledy - and I have to say I am not sure how much I like it.  Strangely I think it would actually be better in bright bright colours πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’š- and I am not quite sure what to make of the Sagrada Familia 🏰.Day one was very satisfactory - I got into the swing of travelling on my ownπŸ‘§πŸŽ’, attempted to remember some Spanish πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ˜³ and got stuck into my book πŸ“˜.Alice xxxIMG_5368Photo 26-04-2016-2Photo 27-04-2016-2Photo 27-04-2016Photo 27-04-2016-4Photo 27-04-2016-9Photo 27-04-2016-7Photo 27-04-2016-8Photo 27-04-2016-10Photo 27-04-2016-11Photo 27-04-2016-13Photo 27-04-2016-14Photo 27-04-2016-15Photo 27-04-2016-20Photo 27-04-2016-16Photo 27-04-2016-17Photo 27-04-2016-19Photo 27-04-2016-23Photo 27-04-2016-24Photo 27-04-2016-25Photo 27-04-2016-26
