Day cuatro in Barcelona

My day 4 in Barcelona was spent visiting the world famous church, la sangrada familia! I would definitely suggest everyone to book online so as to avoid the tremendously long queue ( there is a separate queue for internet booking and the normal tickets)! Just like park güell, they have designated time slots and you are only allowed to enter at the time you booked for! 

If you arrived early, you can take a nice walk around the small park just opposite the sangrada familia! 

Once I got into the sangrada familia church, I couldn't help but to stand in awe and how detailed and skillful the works of gaudi were! Don't miss the small information room near the exit of the church because it gives you very good information about how gaudi created his creation and all his ideas behind his designs! 

We took the hop on and hop off bus again and this time we took the red route!  We got down at the stop called teleferic de montjuic to look at the majestic water fountain and waterfall! It was really mind-blowingly beautiful! One of the places where taking a picture wouldn't show how wonderful the place is...

Next stop was port vell! This is a nice place to be because it's right at the marina and there are many shops and I like how the shops are very organized! 

I tried the paella here but I didn't particularly like it because it was a little too fishy for my liking... ( maybe I didn't eat at the right store or maybe paella just tastes like that!) 

What I enjoyed more was the donut at dunkin coffee! It was really good just like Krispy Kreme! And they had a Easter edition donuts so of course I had to try it! 

Next stop was back to Carrer d'Avinyó, 7. Somewhere closer to la rambla! This is the well know first esparadilles store in spain,La Manual Alpargatera. I heard that even pope john paul II was also a customer of this store! 

For a store with such a long tradition, I am surprised that they have many new and modern designs to offer! Not just the classic esparadilles! You will be spoilt for choice and colours... Just that sometimes they do not have the colour in want in the size that you need! 

Also, they have a small corner with some selected designs that are on Sale! 

Since they are well known, please expect that their staff are rather rude and they don't speak English well! 

Ended my day with churros, jarmon and tomato bread for dinner at Enrique Tomas, a nice place to try out if you are keen on trying out jarmon or bacon! 

I would recommend the set meal as shown in the picture above! For salad, chips, sandwich, espresso and wine... It only costs 9.90 euros! What a steal right! (But I'm still missing the awesome salad from Israel!)

Till another day of fun,
