Weekend Trip Away!
So, at the beginning of February, myself, Jamie, his brother Stuart and his girlfriend Claire went to Barcelona!
On the 23rd January, Stuart turned 30!
Claire organised a surprise trip for him to Barcelona which he found out about on his birthday! However, we left out the part that Jamie and I would be joining them!
DAY 1
On the Friday morning, Jamie and I headed up to the airport to surprise Stuart!
Surprise revealed, and after Stuart got over the shock of us being there, we headed to our gate, ready to board the plane!
After arriving at the airport in Barcelona, we all jumped into a taxi and headed for our hotel, which only took around 20mins!
Our check in time wasn't until 3pm that afternoon, so we dropped off our bags and went for a walk to see where everything was.
We sat down at a bar for a few drinks, before heading further down towards the beach and to see what was around there.
We then headed back to the hotel to have a shower and go down for dinner. It had been a very long day so we went to bed quite early ready for our next day.
DAY 2
We tried to visit as much as we could in one day!
We first went to the Camp Nou! I'm not at all a football fan, but I did really enjoy going here!
I have had so many people telling me how big the stadium is, but it isn't until you're actually there you realise just how big it is!
After we had finished there, we headed to the main strip Las Ramblas to have a look at all the 'expensive' shops! If only I had a lot of money I would have bought so much stuff!
We saw some Gaudí buildings whilst there.
La Pedrera
Casa Batlló
We were so busy looking at everything that we forgot about lunch.
We headed to the marina again and ate at a fish restaurant.
I had mussels and paella! The paella was the best I have ever had!
I forgot to take a photo of the paella because I was so hungry!
Lunch finished we headed back to the hotel to chill out and rest after walking all day!
We headed out onto the main strip later that evening for some drinks and tapas!
After arriving back to the hotel that evening we had some cocktails in the bar before going back to our rooms.
DAY 3
We decided to give ourselves a lay in! So we went for breakfast around 10ish.
We went to see the Sagrada Familia, which was amazing!
We also went to see the magic fountain. We didn't realise that its best to see this at night time as they are not on during the day! It was still pretty cool to see though and the view was beautiful!
This was my first weekend trip abroad and I loved it!
It has made Jamie and I want to do more, we are already looking at Rome!
I would love to know if you have been to Barcelona and what your favourite bit was!
Where else would guys recommend going? I would love to know!
