My lady and I went to Barcelona for a few days to celebrate our anniversary last week. She hasn't been before. Barcelona is a stunning place, vibrant, clean, full of superb architecture, and their transport system is both clean and on time.
We travelled First Class on the AVE train from Malaga. That was an excellent experience. with the train reaching speeds of 300 plus kmh. The journey only took 5 hours, with a meal served at our seats. There was also a film on with an English soundtrack through headphones supplied.
We wanted to view some Gaudi buildings, and La Pedrera, and Sagrada Familia were particularly stunning. We also took lunch at La Pedrera Restaurant, and it was like dining at the Ritz, but a lot less expensive. We also took the City tour bus. You can get off and on as many times as you like anywhere on the route, using the same ticket, and although it was a chilly day we still loved the experience.
The whole of Barcelona is clean and beautiful, and we found the Catalan people charming and courteous. I found the Nou Camp impressive. Messi thanked me for my autograph!!!! Las Ramblas is a must for any tourist, and was well worth a visit.
I would really recommend Barcelona as a place to visit. There is so much to see.
I reckon the whole of the Barcelona 4 day holiday only set us back about 1000 €, and was well worth every cent.
I have 'flu, but have found a semi cure.....I eat lots of chocolate. When the 'flu has gone I think I shall have to continue the therapy to prevent further attacks.........
Wattpad have now banned the first book of my trilogy, "The Saturday Pledge - Book One - Rancliffe". They join Kindle who did the same earlier in the year. Are these companies connected? The Wattpad rejection came only seconds after I submitted the manuscript electronically so they could not have possibly read it. They must have had a referral black list or something similar. The ironic thing is that my books are a lot less explicit than say '50 Shades', which Wattpad and Kindle published. Many tell me that they think my story lines are much better too. Oh well, I'll still keep at it.
Hasta Pronto.
