Another lazy start to the day. Then off into Barcelona with friends to see the Christmas lights, decorations and enjoy one of Europe’s most vibrant city’s nightlife.
Goverment-offices
Wandered steadily through some of the off beat back streets with friend Steve grabbing a few (thousands actually) of pictures. Called into a second hand shop to do a bit of rummaging.
Decorations
Up the Rambla and on to a lovely restaurant (Bilbao berria) near the Cathedral for Tapas and Pinchos.
Catalunya-sqaure
Then wandered round an Antique market and on to Catalunya Sqaure to look at the games and the large robotic ballerina. A brilliant night out.
Walk about in the hills at the back of the campsite with friends then relax ready for a good walkabout in Barcelona tomorrow to see the lights at night.
Cycle into vilanova and a coffee in town its so good to cycle around the back streets away from tourists. Bus Train into Sitges late with friends to see the lights and Tapas.
Sitges Christmas Eve
A good evening stroll about interesting shops but time we had finished walking around the bars all started closing !!! so no food again (we do like to mess up occasionally on our trips). And its usually when we are with friends Oops! done it again. xxx but better than sat watching TV any day.
Over the last few days we have been running and cycling (cubelles) also a walk with friends to Sitges along the old railway line with lunch in Sitges. We also checked out a couple of Tapas bars for a meal out with our friends on Christmas Eve.
Run day today in the hills at the back of the campsite then a walk in the same area. So a quiet day, will be going into Sitges for a look around tomorrow and to pick a restaurant for a tapas meal on Christmas Eve.
Cloudy start so decided to do the Barcelona thing….Train in Bus Back. A lovely walkabout we are so relaxed here now after returning so many times.
Barcelona transport
We came across a lovely wall made of individual small mosaic tiles very impressed. The market was still there in front of the cathedral with a very impressive Tio… BIG!
13-14 December 2016 Nimes / Vilanova Park Barcelona
13 December 2016 Nimes
Arrived at Nimes after a 2 Hr drive found out that like Oxford they have changed the Bus service to a 2 Bus journey into Nimes, as we have been here a few times we decided not to go into town and instead do some shopping and wash the van.
13 -14 December 2016 Vilanova Park Barcelona.
A long drive today 5 hours with 3 short breaks. Arrived at Vilanova park and were put on a pitch under trees so asked to be moved which they did next morning, into the restaurant for a menu del dia. Bumped into some friends from Keswick who owned a Guest house there on Southey Street we had heard they had bought a motorhome but had lost touch with them (small world). Up for a run Wednesday then down into Vilanova town for a coffee. Good to be back in warm temperature 18C.
