spent a last great day in Barcelona. Sunday in Spain is family day no shops open .We went up to Guell park .This upperclass residential development was designed by Gaudi but was a financial failure and only one house was built that being lived into by Gaudi for 20 years.The area was bought by the council and now is a favourate place for Barcelonians to hang out with their families.It was a good 1.3km stroll from metro and the day had dawned warmer than CNN weather had predicted and we soon regetted clothes choice as temp neared 25+c.The park is a wonderful haven in the city full of Gaudi's humour in his design and detail.Wonderful areas for performers to entertain in and for real artists to show off work that is really exceptional.In the afternoon we went to Barcelonetta ,the beach where the rest of the city seemed to be .Where in the Lux book you can see busty babes and budgie smugglers but we arrived a little to late for that but still a great place with bars and restaurants galour. We then went back to hotel to pack for early start in morn.I need to mention Villy the german who owns the guest house we were staying at.Firstly we thoroughly endorse this place as willy said 4 star clean for 2 star price.He really was crazy with addiction to clean (is this german mike a).He said the girls vot you say flish flish with cloth ,instead how you say vacuum then wipe. This place has three keys to get into so very safe and own parking for car and right next to metro and most importantly a great little bar where we had our little morning fresh squeezed orange (pretty good with shot of voddy too)
