Aventura en Espana 4.0

Last day would be the visit-Gaudi's-architecture day. Before just buildings coming in, be sure to take a happy pill first!
No photos allowed in the shop 

With some candy in hand, we can proceed to Casa Batlló.
Casa Battlo, also known as the house of bones coz of it's unique structure - irregular and decorated with blue, orange and green mosaic..
Seems like there's no straight lines in the whole structure

Look carefully! (bad picture)
The roof is arched, like the back of a dragon, with purplish scales.

As usual, it's just snap snap and off we go for brunch lol.. Did some research on places serving best tapas - Catalana it is!
Quite a queue out there
Spanish omelette
Deep fried baby squid
Salted anchovies
Complimentary tomato spread on bruschetta bread
Tapas here are really recommended *thumbs up*

Next up, Sagrada Familia where we finally poured in some money for those sight-seeing attractions. Painful waste! But just remember to bring your student card if you decide to visit the interior.
2 euros off for students!
The Gaudi lamppost

Last stop at MareMagnum. Dining in TapaTapa and watching the sunset by the harbour.
 
 
 Regret much for not ordering their seafood paella :(
 

That's really the end of Barcelona trip. Really sorry for the extremely delayed post (to myself esp) sigh....
Lastly..
 
SMILE BIG!


Aventura en Espana 1.0

Hola!
Barcelona has always been top of the numerous countries I wanna visit. It's a right choice I'm there for summer, long day for exploring the city. The weather is hot, but not that bad and the nights are actually cold..

Took a morning flight from Lisbon to Barcelona and started our journey immediately.
First thing that pops in your head must be Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, with an entrance from the famous La Rambla. The hotel is located in one of the branch streets in La Rambla so the market is very near us.
Our hotel, no modern glamorous type. Europe's all about saving every penny where you can.

We were quite hungry so hunt for food first, brunch at El Quim
Around 6 chefs cooking in that small area
Europe's usual bread starter

Razor Clams
El Quim's Speciality : Two fried eggs with baby squid
Omg this is like really too good. I can't even describe :o
But a pricey dish (19 euros)
Assorted wild mushrooms

There is just so many types of food sold in this market. 
Cheers to all the mix juices
Saw this adorable piggy so I decided to imitate it

Then I met my second love, savoury crepes... in the making..
The one behind the good crepe
#yuminmytum
Mojito popsicle 
Bread, Iberian ham, chorizo and salami

That's what I have tried in Mercat la Boqueria.
Anything nicer food there which I have missed? 
I can't believe how efficient I am HAHA  
Heading out for CNY shopping with my girls  ♥
