We got them to-go and took them to the boardwalk and sat at the port. While we were sitting there a Spanish guy came up to us asking where something was. We couldn't understand him at first and as we asked him to repeat it, his partner in crime snuck behind our bench and grabbed my friends wallet that was sitting next to her. I saw it out of the corner of my eye but thought he had just dropped something. My other friend Jessica noticed it and screamed. He instantly dropped the wallet right where he was, kept walking and never looked back. We were so thankful we didn't have to chase him down!
That evening we went to Plaza Espana to see the big fountain light show. It was mesmerizing! We got coffee and sat around for an hour talking and listening to the music.
Later that night we went to a club called Sala Razzmatazz. It wasn't exactly my scene.... there was a live band that played the kind of music you had to bob your head to. Even though I didn't love it, it was still a cool experience. You could go up to the roof to go to a different dance floor. But definitely not worth the 15 euro cover charge.
The next morning we went to Parc Guell (designed by gaudi). There were a bunch of trails we could walk through and it seemed like every 50 feet there was a different musician playing a guitar, violin, or some other mystery instrument!
Afterwards we went to visit the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. I can definitely tell that Spain is getting closer to the tourist season because there was a really long line just to enter the church. Gaudi loved nature and he designed the ceiling of the church to look like trees (with the columns being the trunks). One of my friends has a friend living in Barcelona while completing her graduate work. We went to her barbecue party afterwards and met her spanish friends. It was nice to be able to relax in a home after a long day of doing touristy things!
We went home for a nap and then that night we went to a club called Opium. It was RIGHT on the beach! SO SO FUN! There were VIP sections, a big dance floor, and indoor and outdoor couches! After a few hours of dancing, we got our hands stamped and left the club to go to the beach. We ran around and put our feet in the water (this was about 4:30 am) and then went back into the club for a couple more hours. We left as the sun was rising and went to our hostel to get our bags and eat the free breakfast. We checked out and then headed to the airport! Of course we were SUPER tired, so we slept at the airport until we had to board. Overall an exhausting but fun weekend in barca!
