We made it safety to Lisbon and met the other groups from Buffalo, NY and San Diego, CA. Our trip guide, Isis, is so knowledgeable and friendly! We just dropped our bags and we are ready for our walking tour of Lisbon!
Day 10: Barcelona, mi amor
The last day of our trip was certainly a memorable one! We began the day with an impromptu tour of the Olympic stadiums and buildings built for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games. We also went up to Montjuic to see the spectacular view of the city. The oddest bromance Barcelona has ever seen. It made us all really uncomfortable Our tour guide, Carmen, told us all about Antonio Gaudi and his influence is seen all over Barcelona Th building below is called Casa Battlo and the facade was built between 1904-1906. It was based around the Legend of St. George which revolves around dragons. That is why the top of the building looks like it has scales and the windows are made to look like the bones of the people the dragon ate. We also went to La Sagrada Familia which is supposed to be finished in 2026. Gaudi was also commissioned as the architect for this cathedral and he used parabolas
