I’ve been on a metro/subway once or twice in my life.  I took a train in London.  My experience doesn’t go very far.

Our hotel in Barcelona was really close to the metro and we swore to ourselves we would attempt it.  Well… we didn’t.  That thing is intimidating.  So when I titled this “10 Mile Hike” it’s because we actually walked over 10 miles on this day.  It didn’t look that far on the map…

Our destination: Park Guell.  A gigantic park with insane architectural designs by Antoni Gaudi.  And so the journey began.

Hello, uphill.

We passed by this along the way:  The Sagrada Familia.  Obviously it’s a church.  We didn’t go in, but the outside was pretty bizarre looking.

And a while later, we arrived.

Really, who has this much talent?

Pretty walkway

Up or Down?

"Birds' Nests" in the back.

This is closer.  These were carved to look like trees and there are birds’ nests created on top of them.

Very cool walkway

Great View

Another good one

And we made it all the way to the top.

You don’t see this everyday…

Unreal.

Success!

 I think this was the day I REALLY fell in love with Barcelona.  I can’t even explain it.  Until next time…

Xo,

Jenn
