Madrid

Exploring Sagrada Família

The afternoon was spent at Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s unfinished masterpiece. The stainedn-glass windows cast rainbow light inside, and the towering spires left us speechless. We lingered, snapping photos and marveling at the intricate details.

Sunset on La Rambla

As evening fell, we walked down La Rambla, dodging street performers and browsing souvenir stalls. The energy was lively, with flower vendors and artists adding charm. We picked up a small ceramic tile as a keepsake.

Paella Dinner by the Beach

Dinner was a seafood paella at a beachfront restaurant in Barceloneta. The rice was packed with shrimp and mussels, with a hint of saffron. Eating with the sound of waves crashing nearby felt like a true taste of Barcelona.

Morning Wander in Park Güell

We started the day strolling through Park Güell, surrounded by Gaudí’s colorful mosaics and quirky architecture. The views over Barcelona were stunning, with the city waking up under a golden sunrise. We grabbed an espresso from a nearby café to fuel our adventure.

Tapas Brunch at La Boqueria

For brunch, we hit La Boqueria market and feasted on tapas: patatas bravas with spicy sauce and jamón ibérico that melted in our mouths. The bustling market vibes and fresh orange juice made it a perfect morning stop.
