Week-end trip to Barcelona

We found cheap flights to Barcelona and went there for a week-end with our friends. We only stayed one night because the flight tickets were cheap only on those days, but it was so easy to get from the airport to the centre of Barcelona and our hotel was on walking distance from the end stop, so we had time to see quite a lot anyway. And it's a good thing to go on a city holiday together with a family with other children so they can have fun together and complain much less about having to walk a lot.
Our apartment was next to the Ramblas and we found our favourite restaurang just under our apartment. They had good simple spanish food for a good price. On the first morning the football fans, Armando and Daniele went to see the football stadium and the rest of us went shopping. We strolled around in the Barrio Gotico and then met up there and had lunch. Then we went to the Picasso museum.
Next day we walked along the Passeig de Gracias where you can see Gaudìs houses Casa Battllò and Casa Milà and from there we went to the Sagrada Familia. There was a long queue, so we didn't go inside. Our friends wanted to take the taxi to the Park Guell, but we had metro tickets, so we met up there. Then the others wanted to eat paella and we had got an adress to a place nearby. But as we were looking for it every one had got really hungry and when we asked people, it didn't appear to bee so close. Se we decided to follow a taxi driver's tip about another restaurang near the Ramblas. Our friends managed to get a taxi, but no one would take our family as we were 5 persons, so we had to take the metro again and meet up at the restaurant, which proved to be too expensive for us. We went to another one, but the paella was nothing special and we had to wait a really long time for our food. Anyway, after that we were tired and ready to get to the bus that took us to the airport.
