Today is our full day in Barcelona and we are going on a tour!
First let’s touch on the Catalonian referendum that was going on. This was Sunday, the day of the vote. We drove by this on the way out of town on the cruise, it was a demonstration. If you haven’t heard of the referendum, Google it. It was very interesting to be here for this……a little nerve wracking as well, we were on high alert the whole time, no way was I going to be caught in the middle of a riot.
We headed out of town about an hour into the mountains to visit a monastery.
It was like a mini little city, there was a hotel and a hostel and a little restaurant
That is the funicular to the top of the mountain.
Inside part of the monastery.
This was supposed to be the most powerful spot, geothermal waters run under it and the original church stood in this spot.
Lots of candles
hiking!
The mist was pretty, it started to burn off as we climbed down.
Back in town, people gathered in a plaza to keep apprised of the situation.
Gelato and a church!
another church!
there is a fair type place near the water, we went and rode the ferris wheel
Bye Barcelona!!!!!
