Kelly Courtney Barcelona

  • On top of the world! More like on top of the castle, so pretty!

  • The lovely castle

  • Us at the half way point to Montjuic
  • View of the port from above
  • View from the finicular, Las Ramblas is the snakey line filled with trees. It used to be a river that divided the city.
  • Just after I bought my stunner shades.

Hi again,

The other week Court and I had a Vicky Christina taking over Barcelona experience. It was a big touring day, and we got to see so many sights that I have been wanting to see! We first walked all the way down La Rambla to Port Vell. There were tons of fish so we decided to feed them. We took the bridge over to the Maremagnun (a mall) and I bought yellow sun glasses from a vendor! haha. Courntey got white. We did a little shopping in the Maremagnum. We found this cute little jewelry/bead shop and we decided to make friendship bracelets! hah they turned out very cute. We continued our journey to Buenos Amigos, a delicious little eatery with pizza on foccacia bread. It was delicious. We continued to walk along the port until we reached the entrance to the finicular. This finicular offers amazing views as it streams across the port up to Montjuic. Once at the top you have a view of the entire city it is absolutely spectacular. Further up Montjuic there is a castle that overlooks the port and ocean. We made our way up there and enjoyed the sunset. This adventure made me appreciate Barcelona so much more, it is gorgeous and has so much to offer. I wish my vacation wasn't coming to an end so soon! :(
