Barcelona


November 1st is a holiday in France so we took a last trip to Barcelona. It was beautiful, in the 70s every day, even at night. A little too cold to swim but Mary was up for some wading!

We had a nice day trip out to Montserrat. The mountain is beautiful. Getting up to the top nearly did Dave in, but the views and interesting rock formations were amazing.
The Montserrat monastery nestled in the mountains (this is the part you can get to by cable car)

The chapel at Montserrat

Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, one hundred years old and still 30 years from completion.
