Today we went for a walk. Here is what we did:

• Went to the local market
• Ate lunch at Creps Barcelona – a chain restaurant that does gluten free galettes, savoury and sweet. Mmm
• Bought me a pink sun hat
• Strolled through the Gothic Quarter, and decided it would be an excellent place for a Sprint

The bridge next to the Cathedral

My head feels like this some days

• Saw some Roman things

Roman wall

Roman tower

• Window shopped

We didnt try these

Freddy Mercury or David Bowie?

• Found a gelateria with the magic words “Sin Glutine” – lemon and wild berries for me, chocolate sorbet and wild berries for Ian. It’s called Swiit, and is right opposite the Roman Tower. Highly recommended.

Ice cream at Swiits

• Were greeted by a friendly giant lobster. My life is complete.

Welcomed by a giant lobster. Awesome!

• Saw a man wearing a leather onesie. Don’t do this. Ever.

Probably leave the leather onesie at home next time

• Saw a man taking his plastic unicorn for a walk. Acceptable if you carry it off with flair.

Me and my unicorn …

• Chased bubbles

Chasing bubbles (in my new sun hat)

• Visited one more Gaudi Casa. This is our “local” just a few minutes’ walk away. It’s obviously from his earlier Straight Line period. I promised Ian there would be no more.

Our last Casa

I’m not quite head over heels in love with Barcelona, but I like it very much indeed.
