Having coffee while waiting for Joe at the bus terminal, Estació d'autobusos Barcelona Nord GPS : 41.394441, 2.182573 |
The hostel is at the upper floor with an old traditional lift to hoist our bikes up. The lift is really old but amazing it's still functional. |
Our first visit was La Sagrada Familia, so much talk about it and we finally made it to this iconic spot. |
The construction of this Barcelona most controversial site which is still ongoing, the church is expected to be completed in 2026 so they said but we shall see. |
The construction started in 1882 and until todate it is not completed. he famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí took charge of the project a year later from the original architect, scrapping off the original neo-Gothic design and exchanged for a grander scale church. |
Some believe even by 2026 it will still not be completed maybe in the 2040's. Though it is still incomplete, the church has received an estimate of 2.8 million visitors each year. |
Having a coffee break at Big D right in front of La Sagrada Familia. |
Slowly but surely getting into the groove of the cycling on Barcelona cycling lanes and a wonderful way and culture to see the city. |
Another attractive building at a junction with a bank housed within it (Triodos Bank Barcelona). GPS : 41.398040, 2.164554 |
A rest in front Casa Mila at the many benches with with heavily decorated street lighting. |
After a severe steep climb we found ourselves at Gaudi Park. Another popular place of interest and again by the Gaudi, the famous architect. It is located at Carmel Hill GPS : 41.415069, 2.156034 |
Today the Park Güell is a public park composing of gardens and architectural elements. In 1984, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site under "Works of Antoni Gaudí". |
We were back to the hostel having enough site seeing for the day. The hostel is indeed a good budget accommodation that is comfortable with friendly staff and affordable. |
There many corners in the hostel that one can enjoy its quietness, comfort and rejuvenate oneself before another city adventure. |
A common kitchen with well equipped utensil and a cozy atmosphere to eat and chill. |
