We had a nice brunch planned to start the long weekend. A quick google led us to La Cremati, a recently opened but very popular eatery. We ordered ours eggs and bacon and pancakes and added the Estonian flag to celebrate the day.
I've probably mentioned it a couple of times, but Parc Güell, one of Gaudi's masterpieces, has never really impressed me. I've been there a few times, each time hoping that maybe this time I'll get the phenomenon, but so far nothing. Nada. Scott, however, expressed his desire to go. When I first visited Barcelona 15 years ago, the entrance to the park was free. A couple of years later, they added a 3-euro fee to access this mosaic platform, and in 2022, entrance fee for the park was 10 euros per visitor.
Pictures of Parc Güell available on the internet are always colorful and full of mosaics. But what a first-time visitor like Scott doesn't know is that the mosaic is only a marginal part of the entire park, and everything else is just a park with a fairly common visual. Like every other time, the park did not impress us today either and we started to look for a way out. The exit was through a pillared platform, which they had taped it off to adjust the number of visitors on the platform at the same time. So we had no other option to leave but to wait in line for 15 minutes to get out.
We walked back through Gracia, which, unlike the aforementioned park, is one of my favourite areas in Barcelona. We saw a family beer joint and had tapas for lunch on the Placa del Sol. Lunch included my favourites, cod salad and crema catalana.
In the evening we went to the beach, watched the sand sculptures and the sunset.
