Paella
Zarzuela, yummy!!!
Barcelona market
La Pedrera
What a lovely last day.....
Today is the last day of our holiday as tomorrow we go home.
We have really been blessed with a fantastic last day and could really not have asked for more.
The weather has been perfect which has enabled us to do all the things we still wanted to do.
We started the day with breakfast, churros for me and Heuvos rotos for Pete. From there we headed to La Pedrera (I'll post some photos) to see some more of Gaudi's unique architecture, it was like being on mars!
We then strolled down La Rambla visiting a local marker on the way, it was full of delicious fresh produce and deli goods like you would not believe, a real foodies heaven. We do love a good market!
After the market it was time for some shopping and I bought a couple of keepsakes for myself and a nice t-shirt to wear to fitness squad (must get back into it, I'm sure I've put on a couple of kilos!).
With shopping complete we decided to head down to the beach side area for a walk and whilst there we stumbled across a restaurant I had previously read about so we decided to have some lucky, this turned out to be a great decision because it was simply beautiful food. We shared a Zarzuela which is a Spanish style bouillabasseand and also a seafood paella. Both meals were super tasty with seafood so fresh, we could not have asked for a better meal to finish the trip, at this stage I don't think we will need dinner.
We took a long walk back to the hotel enjoying the sunshine.
Tonight we plan to head out and enjoy a little more Sangria prior to an early morning wake up to head to the airport tomorrow.
Adios for now :-)
