Parc Güell

Monday in Barcelona begin with a cup of coffee and croissant from the wonderful caf� (De Casa, yummy) below Colin’s apartment and ate breakfast on the balcony. After breakfast we finally went grocery shopping and got food for the following 3 days. Then our mini adventure started to Parc G�ell. We took the metro to the bottom of a huge hill and then took multiple outdoor escalators to the top of the hill to Parc G�ell. The park was inspired by Count Eusebi G�ell and Antoni Gaudi carried out the idea and designed parts of the park. The park has amazing views of Barcelona and the main terrace has a caf� embedded in one of the terrace walls. The terrace also has the very comfortable Serpentine Bench (picture below) that overlooks the city and 2 park houses designed by Gaudi. On the way back the 4 of us did quite a bit of souvenir shopping.
