The Monastery at Montserrat
Montserrat is a monastery on top of a mountain a few hours outside of Barcelona. It was one of themost beautiful places we've visited on this whole trip.
We Love Gaudi and Picasso
Everybody went crazy with their photography at La Pedrera!
At the Picasso museum photography isn't allowed. We learned a lot about his changing styles throughout the years, some of which were completely new to me.
After visiting the museum we had a drawing workshop practicing different styles inspired by Picasso. This drawing is by Ericka.
Freixenet and Dinner
We loved visiting the Freixenet winery. We went deep underground into the cellars and also through the packing areas. Freixenet is one of the most famous cava makers in the world. We got to try some great grape juice in the wine tasting room!
Exploring
Dani and I got lost on a walk and stumbled upon a beautiful park that we wanted to explore. There were impressive buildings, fountains, statues, and people practicing acrobatics, and we wondered how we had stumbled upon such a cool place that was so relatively tourist-free. Then we walked a little further and realized that it was the same park that we walk through almost every day as a short cut, but had never bothered to explore!
Harry Potter
We had a group excursion to see the Harry Potter movie, which everybody had been desperate for for a couple of days. Tears were shed, and it was "basically the best movie I've ever seen" (Kelsey).
Teatro-Museo Dalí
The museum was full of striking works that showcase Spanish surrealism. There were so many bizarre things to look at- I don't think we could ever have enough time to soak it all in!
The Aquarium
We had been wanting to go to the aquarium ever since we got to Barcelona and saw the flier in the airport. It turned out to be fun, and it was in a great area. The waterfront is awesome- there are so many fun restaurants and things to see. We'll be coming back soon!
Girona
Girona was an old walled town, and you can clearly see all the history it has when walking through. We visited a cathedral and ate our first meal of tapas before visiting the beach at la Costa Brava.
