Today a tour of Barcelona with the local guide. The Sagrada Familia is just amazing. There is so much detail in the decorations. It was difficult to take photos to show all there was. We were also shown some of Gaudi's other buildings; the Olympic venues, still in use.
Trip to Monserrat. (optional) this is an old monastery. Once again, bowled over by the old buildings and the history etched into the stones.
Dinner at a place on La Rambla, the main street of Barcelona. Followed by a flamenco show which was great. (and noisy). The dancers were extremely good and although we couldn't understand the woman singing, you got the idea from the dances.
As we walked back, one of the group had her purse stolen from her bag when she went back into a shop to buy something. She ended spending a number of hours at the police station with Patricia to file a report and ringing to get the card stopped.(we later found out that the thieves managed to strip around 3,000 EU from her account in a few hours. Luckily it was a travel card and she has the backup to access some funds that are left)
I will have to update this post after I get a chance to look at the pics. The day is all a bit blurry now
