BARCELONA

  • Take Ryanair to Girona, 1 hr bus to Barcelona costs 19 euros

Don't miss:

  • La Sagrada Familia - Gaudi cathedral still in progress
  • La Rambla - pedestrian street with stands selling everything from paintings to hedgehogs
  • Parc Guell - Gaudi landscaped park
  • Picasso Museum
    • hard to find because it's not well marked
    • very detailed English captions

Stay at: Centric Point hostel, 33 Passeig de Gracia

  • cheap, clean; breakfast included (but not sheets)
  • kitty-corner from Tapa Tapa (which serves great ... guess what)
  • one block from three super-cool Gaudi buildings (smile)
  • No labels
