At 1:20am we set off on our 13 hour flight to Barcelona and surprisingly we didn't feel too bad on arrival. We were too early to check into our room so dropped our bags and went exploring the neighbourhood. We walked through Plaza Espanya to go to the National Art Museum building. This is an impressive sight as it's set on a hill at the end of wide avenue and is fronted by fountains. There are nice city views from there. Also by the plaza is an old bull ring (1914 to 1917) now a shopping centre.
After some lunch we checked into our room and relaxed for a while. Nicky, whose holiday crosses with ours for 2 days, came back from exploring and we later went out exploring together. We visited the beach which isn't a naturally sandy beach and was developed in 1992 pre Olympics. We returned to the train station via the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar built from 1329 to 1383.
