With the scooter we were able to squeeze a lot into one day. First we made our way to La Boqueria, a huge open air market off of the main strip of La Rambla.
This market was AMAZING. It had every type of fruit, vegetable, legume, seafood, or meat you could ever imagine. I wish we had something like this in Chicago.
When we left the market we headed back to the beach for a few more hours of sun and some lunch and sangria :)
Before dinner we visited La Sagrada Familia, a famous basilica with a unique design by Antoni Gaudi, who died before it was completed. Though construction began in 1882, it continues today with hopes for completion by 2026.
We climbed up one of the towers for a great view of Barcelona from above.
For dinner we went to a restaurant called Pla, a little restaurant in the Gothic Quarter recommended by my cousin Adam and his wife Lauren who recently honeymooned in Barcelona. A cab dropped us off nearby and we walked down an adorable little alley to find it. The food was absolutely amazing. The beef carpaccio, lamb, and pork were so delicious I was convinced to go back to eating meat.
