Nelson met Chris and I in Girona, near Barcelona, where we spent a wonderful evening wandering old cobblestone streets and happening upon rowdy music being made in secret courtyards under a full moon.
Then we found a campsite near Barcelona and had our first swim in the Mediterranean. The following days were spent exploring the city, on foot and by bike. It´s an architectural playground, from the fairytale world of Gaudi to the very modern Gherry sculptures and lots of cantilevers. Chris and I are both very happy to be here with Nelson as our architect-in-training tour guide. 
The Barcelona skyline, with the Sagrada Familia on the right, under construction for more than a hundred years!

At Gaudi´s Parc Guell
His mosaics are pretty crazy.
Some good vandalism.
Gaudi´s famous hotel, Batalló.
Barcelona has litter-fighting superheroes.Today we head to Montserrat in the nearby mountains to climb! There is a monastery up there and it is supposed to be breathtaking.
