  • We took a taxi from the stadium to Casa Mila or La Pedrera, which is another Gaudi house. We debated going in, but decided to and it was awesome. We took an elevator to the top and then toured the roof first.

  • We also got to sit in the press box. We were hungry and they have a little cafe/restaurant in the stands, so we enjoyed a little snack before moving on. 

  • We took a private tour of the Camp Nou Stadium where Barcelona plays soccer. It was awesome. We got to visit all kinds of areas as well as actually stand on the sidelines of the field. We also got to sit in the players seats. It was really cool!

  • That night we had front row seats to a flamenco performance at Teatro Poliorama. It was fun to watch. We thought it was over a couple times and then they kept going. We could have done without that, but overall it was entertaining. 

  • We ended up at the beach again after the cathedral and walking around El Gotic. The beach was super crowded and that was the day we learned that clothing was optional. At first we saw woman without their tops and then we saw several men completely naked like it was nothing. We also had our…
