Quick tour of Barcelona

The first morning in Barcelona we went on a bus tour to get oriented to the city. Here are some sights we enjoyed seeing and learning about.

Rings sculpture near one of the main ports of Barcelona 

(designed for 1992 Olympics)

On Montjuich: figures dancing La Sardana, traditional circle dance of Cataluña

 1992 Summer Olympics Stadium and torch, also on Montjuich

 View of the Mediterranean Sea from Montjuich 

 

View of seaport and Barcelona over our shoulders. 

We're looking more than a bit jet-lagged!

 

Barcelona from Montuich. Templo de La Sagrada familia 

is visible with cranes hovering above it. 

 

Barcelona's Plaza de Toros Monumental (and that's no bull!)

From here we went to visit La Sagrada Familia, which deserves an entry of its own, so check back tomorrow!
