I was 13 weeks
pregnant when we went to Barcelona. Sorry hubby I do remember being lazy and
crancky( cried for no reason). But that’s ok because we happy with the fact
that we expecting a baby boy.
Places of interest
1. Sagrada di Familia – I think hubby not
interested with this one because it’s a churh. But I’ve been here with Rhea
before. Might cover this one in that entry later.
2. Camp Nou – Hubby love this. I think it cost
€20 each for entrance. Does not matter as long as he’s happy with the museum
tour.
3. Parc Guell – This place is amazing. Parc
Güell is a large garden with architectural elements, located in the upper part
of Barcelona. It was designed as a housing development by the architect Antoni
Gaudí, the greatest exponent of Catalan Art Nouveau, at the behest of the
businessman Eusebi Güell. It was built between 1900 and 1914 and inaugurated as
a public park in 1922. In 1984, UNESCO included Parc Güell within the “Works of
Antoni Gaudí” Human Heritage Site.
4. La Ramlas – Food heaven. Lots of tropical
fruits like watermelon,mango,pineapples
6. Beach – Lots of halal food at the beach. I
think it’s called Barceloneta. I remember it was a really warm sunny day when
we were there. We come often to have dinner here.
7. Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau – Our
hotel is very close to this hospital. The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
is one of the most representative works of the architect Lluís Domènech i
Montaner, a contemporary of Gaudí who also designed the Palau de la Música. The
architectural site was declared a Human Heritage site by UNESCO in 1997.
8. Olympic Port - Hosting the Olympic Games in
1992 involved a tremendous urban transformation for the city. The construction
of the Olympic Village was the most radical transformation, accompanied by the
recovery of part of the seafront, bringing new beaches to the city and creating
a new marina: the Olympic Port. Nearby, there is a large area of restaurants
and two of the most significant buildings of Olympic Barcelona: the Mapfre
Tower and the Hotel Arts, which, due to their heights and significance, are two
of the icons of the Barcelona of today.
We
actually take the bus tour during the short trip. The main reason is this
pregnant lady is too lazy too walk. But we actually cover a lot during the trip.
