Lasting Impressions
I thought this would be my final picture of Barcelona…
That was before we decided to have one last walk down La Rambla…
They’re both perfect, in their own way.

La Pedrera Revisited
We went once more to see La Pedrera (Casa Milà ). The line was so short that we decided to take the tour. I’m so glad we did. The Guadi pieces on the roof against the blue Spanish sky are so very compelling and photogenic.
Several more photos in the gallery here.

Barcelona – Last Day
It’s our final day in Barcelona. We are taking it super easy as we are pretty much exhausted. Tonight we pack up and we take a 4+ hour train ride back to Madrid where it all began.
Today we got up, got dressed and headed over to the Boqueria for breakfast. We’ve come to love our little cafe there for a cafe con leche and a Spanish omelette.
After breakfast we walked over to the Museu Maritim De Barcelona.
I’ve been to a number of nautical and military museums in my life. This is, by far, the best one I have ever seen. The building itself is the restored Drassanes Reials (Royal Shipyards of Barcelona) and at it’s center is a Full sized reproduction of the galley from which Don Juan d’Austria oversaw the defeat of the Turkish Navy at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 to give Spain mastery of the Mediterranean.
We specifically got there early so I could make sure I got this particular shot of the replica

We’re back in the Hotel resting a bit. We’re going to head out here shortly for another walk around the city.
We’re going to miss Barcelona
