Barcelona

Myself and Hugh took a day trip to Barcelone while on holidays in Spain and the first thing we saw on leaving the bus station was a massive Bulmers poster all over a building! Of course there it's called Magners, I never got to the bottom of that mystery.


There are loads and loads of statues and amazing buildings in Barcelona. The whole city is amazing. There isn't one ugly building to be seen.


We took a bus tour to see most of the sights. Everyone was given a set of earphones to plug into the back of the seat in front of you, and you could scroll through selecting different languages. it was a fantastic tour, and you could get on and off at any stop you liked. Hugh fell asleep promplty after getting on the bus, but at least he was still minding my bag. It was very funny; there was an old lady at the front of our row on the bus and she fell asleep too. Whenever we went over a bump of a car horn sounded, the 2 of them would wake up and look around confused for a moment before going back to sleep.


The waterfront of Barelona is like Kinsale or Crosshaven with yachts lined up along huge long banks. Here's Hugh having a chat with one of the locals.
