Day tours in Barcelona - why not?!

Barcelona is magical, no doubt about it.  It has everything in it and it suits all kind of different things to offer. Last week I got to Barcelona for one day only. Actually, it was a bad connection flight and I got stuck in Barcelona. Feeling sorry for myself, I had two choices – I could sit at the airport or at the hotel that the air company arranged for me, and get all grumpy… or I could one of the day tours in Barcelona.

As you can understand, I’ve chosen the other option and went on a day tour in Barcelona without any expectations. At the end of the day, I felt so lucky for getting stuck in this amazing city that I forgot all about my lousy flight. You probably ask yourself what can a man do in day tours in Barcelona?  a lot.

Of course, I started at La Rambla. This is the main street in Barcelona and it is so nice. People are selling all kind of things in little shops on the Rambla – birds, flowers, handcraft…even more interesting are the street shows. I love street shows, I feel like they are much more authentic than any other show cause the performer get’s to see and feel his audience. I felt like in my day tour in Barcelona I saw more street shows than in the past ten years together.

I guess that’s the magic I was talking about. Anyway after few hours in la Rambla, I went to see La Sagrada Familia. For those of you that don’t know it, La Sagrada Familia is one of the most famous buildings of Gaudi and the last one he ever planned. Actually it wasn’t ready during his life time and they are still building it today. This amazing building is telling you without words all there is to know about Gaudi – the man and the legend.

It’s unique colors and shape are talking, like no other building does. After few more hours there and in the street’s around, I understood that day tours in Barcelona don’t last forever - I had to go back and catch a flight. Now I’m planning my next day tours in Barcelona or actually maybe my two week vacation there…
