Day 3b - Barcelona exploring (pt.2)

Full day exploring Barcelona, let's see what is available to experience.
My route. Seems like a lot but shouldn't take but 3-4 hours
Gaudi made so many gothic-classical buildings around Barcelona
Another Gaudi
Local produce market
Where to start
This place is pretty massive
Any fruit drink cup 1euro


Did I mention Gaudi made a lot of amazing buildings around town? He also created the building for their orchestra. They are playing tonight Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 and I can't wait to hear it! 

Something right out of Paris
Even the cheap seats are stunning
Seats go fully around the hall
Outside light change the stain glass as the concert goes on
The detail in the glass..wow
My seat. Not too bad
They killed it!

My soul died a thousand times while they played and was reborn each new stanza. Acoustics so perfect no one was mic'd. This is how a show should be seen.

I had wondered why the city was sold out of rooms. Turns out this weekend is a local holiday in celebration of the Saint of Fire. Craziest thing I've see. Fireworks rain down onto the crowd for 10 blocks as they go from the cathedral all the way to the beach.



Tomorrow: get on the boat!
