Sights of Spain

Snapshots of our second full day in Barcelona

Here's a quick view of the scenic spots we saw in Barcelona while om board the Red Bus.




















Sagrada Familia with the familia...











the women in my life





Lunch..
conveniently just around the corner from Sagrada











Spicy Mushrooms and Pan Con Tomate






Spicy Choriza






Grilled Calamari
Really liked the simplicity of this dish, with the squid just being lightly seasoned with salt and herbs





Fideos
My family is now obsessed with this version of paella made with crispy pasta noodles instead of rice




Paella Valenciana





Creme Caramel
I was really intrigues by the unique texture of creme caramel from it was lighter than the usual flan but slightly more dense than a creme brulee





introducing my dad!






Next was Parc Guell
