Barcelona!!!!

A brilliant half-term holiday in Barcelona!!

Our journey began with a very very very long flight!! Our flight left London on its journey to Milan, where we had a lay-over time of 10 hours!! That was not a very good experience...... Then after our horrible night in Milan Linate Airport, we boarded our short flight to Barcelona. Once there, we got in a taxi and in broken English and Spanish, we eventually got to our apartment.

Throughout the entire week, we went around the city looking at all the major tourist sites, but for a lot of the time, we spent walking up and down Las Ramblas and doing some shopping. We also headed to the famous Barceloneta Beach a few times. I can now tick of a swim in the Mediterranean off the bucket list haha!!

Las Ramblas




Our trips to the beach were excellent! Beautiful sun and relatively warm weather kept us coming back to the famous Spanish beach. There were a few annoying things though....a lot of men and women were selling things on the beach and they kept annoying us, wanting us to buy things, but we never gave in to them....on a few occasions we got a bit aggressive!!
On one nice evening, we decided to go to a cocktail bar on the beach......haha!!

Beautiful beach weather

A "Sex on the Beach" cocktail
 Major tourist sites such as the Barcelona architecture and the Sagrada Familia were big sites on our visit.





I simply cannot go into every detail of our trip as it would make this blog exceptionally long!!! But I do want to say how enjoyable this entire holiday was. Thankyou to Rachel, Eliza and Ally for coming along with me. We had an absolute blast!!!!!!!!!!!!


WHAT A SPECTACULAR HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!
