Barcelona

Friday 12 till Monday 15 November 2021


Rave has been living for a week and a half in Carrer de la Barra de Ferro 4, El Born district. She has also just started a new job. 

Friday: Fly with Transavia from Rotterdam to El Prat. Easy aerobus to Hotel Rondo near Placa Universitat. Rave met there after work, had a tasty paella at an outdoor bistro and walked through town to her new apartment. In the evening had a beer at a jazz cafe around the corner with live music.

Saturday: Walked to El Born, walked with Rave along Barcelonetta and harbor to the sea, back to El Born something to eat and then a city bus to Gracia to watch the sun set at 'the bunkers' on top of the mountain with a beautiful view over Barcelona, wine with it. From there we walked all the way down through Gracia. In Gracia, on a square where we ate some tapas, a neighborhood party with drums, devils and fireworks was experienced.

Sunday: With sore legs from walking yesterday, first explored El Born (didn't experience it in the old Cathedral, Moco museum). Rave was a little bit ill and also had a few online Dutch lessons. Later in the afternoon we visited a museum across the street from her with beautiful modern art. Afterwards we ate delicious tapas on a square near the old church. On the way to my hotel lingered at a pub on my corner.



Monday: Half overslept with Aerobus to airport, from T1 to Terminal 2 with free bus, I was glad I was on time. Back home early in the evening.
