Walk tour around Barcelona

On our first morning in Barcelona we woke up early and waited for the breakfast to begin. Well. Basically there were no breakfast. Only a kitchen. With dry biscuits and jam. Which meant that we paid for that breakfast since it was included in our price. Nam. After we enjoyed our healthy and big breakfast we put our running gear on and left for a run along the beach for 50 min! Have I never been that thirsty after a run! We ran straight to a supermarket to buy cold water. :D 

Before the run..

After taking showers it was time to meet Jorge, one of my Spanish friend's who had been in Helsinki as an exchange student. Jorge lives in Barcelona so he had agreed on being our tour guide and show us around. Well that he definitely did. He had planned a whole walking tour around the most famous sights which were walking distance apart from each other. We ended up walking for 4 hours straight! I wonder how many bottles of water we drank.. Of course we could have taken metros in between but we preferred walking, seeing places and buildings etc.

Catedral of Barcelona

From inside.

Can't remember this one.. Nice art thing next to the main street. Maybe Gaudi something? :D 

I have never seen anything so big. That thing was massive and they've build it since 1882...! I have also never seen so many people queing to get in somewhere in roasting sun! If you can only imagine how big the church is.. There were people waiting in lines around it!!!! They must have had to wait at least from one hour forward.. Since the line wasn't even moving anywhere..!

Sagrada familia

Little more pad thai and texting to Steve.. :D

Arc de trionf..

Historical garden Park de la Ciutadella.

Strugglin a bit.. 

When our sight seeing was done Jorge kindly walked us back to our B&B place and showed us some stuff from the map where we should still try to go to. When that was done it was time to hit the beach! We hang out on the beach for two hours until 6 o`clock. I managed to fall asleep since I was exhausted. Nice and soft sand, warming sun, little breeze. What a better place to take a little nap?

That night we  left again for La Rambla but this time to some Pita House to eat. It was nice to wander around in peace and look at the people walking by. We didn`t wanna go back too early so we went to see what happened on the beach street:
