well, I made it to the city of barcelona after a nights stay in ´girona´ airport.
It wasnt a great airport to spend the night, but it was atleast trouble free and there was always the airport security to keep watch on everything. took the first bus in the morning to get to the city, it was 45mins or so ride into the city! once the airport ´girona´ is in the middle of nowhere, and is monopolised by the budget carrier RYANAIR (pls dont ask about the flight)
in barcelona our first hostel was really great! centricpoint, right in the heart of the city center!
we met this aussie called who doug, he was travelling alone, and he joined us for the next two days as we explored the barcelona city!
our first visit was to sagrida familia, the unfinished church for 125years, it is the master piece of gaudi, who I guess you've probably never heard before...
It was the same for me, until I visited barca!
anyways coming back to the familia, its only funded the entry tickets from the tourist and the occasional donations and stuff, it is estimated to be finished in the next 19 years (2026)
enjoy it, its good!

after that we were on our way to the picasso musuem (which by the way was crap), we ended up in the bull fighting ring in barca!it was my first time in such a place, the bull fights were scheduled on the 9th august, by which we were already in france....
so we decided to visit the place despite the fact that it was empty..
there was nevertheless a bull fight among the three of us, catch the video below
the bull ring was so fun that we forgot about picasso musuem!
we cameback slept a while, then we went to catch the musical fountain at plaza catalunya, it was a really looooong walk to get there but the site was more than worth it..(btw we have been walking all along)
the musical fountain, similar in many aspects to the one in sentosa, but much bigger in scale and best of all it was free!
i caught a video of it, well not all of it...
thats the three of us, really had a gr8 time in barca (day1)!

Yoz. Nice pictures put up.
Too bad you never put up the general view of the city. I was wondering whether they have tall buildings too.
Enjoy your time there man. And Take more photos. =)
This is great info to know.
