Day 10 - Barcelona

Barcelona started with finding our hostel. (Are you noticing theme here?) After another disastrous search that ends with us eventually getting settled we went to lunch at this really good place that Rick Steves recommends. (Rick Steves has the best travel books, in my opinion, for future travelers) After lunch we headed towards La Pedrera which is an apartment complex designed by Antoni Gaudi. He definitely has a different style which I don’t really like all that much but it is definitely something that you have to see because it is quite a sight. We rounded off the Gaudi tour by going to La Sagrada Familia, which is a church that Gaudi designed and has been in the works since the 20s. It is still not supposed to be finished for another 50 years. After the Gaudi bonanza we got some food and wandered along Las Ramblas, which is the shopping area of Barcelona, until we reached the Mediterranean. After sitting there for a while we headed back to our hostel to close another day.
