Sight Seeing Day 2



The second day of our Barcelona Tourisme Bus experience saw us take a southern route into the olympic stadium area and then along the waterfront. Unfortunately, the day was cloudy and cold, so it was not the most fun riding in the open top of the double-decker bus. Therefore, you may see that the weather affected the quality of the pictures.
We made that trip quick, so that we could make the 3pm tour of the Palau Musica. The Palau Musica is a concert hall built by a rich Barcelonan patron during the beginning of the 20th century. It is built in the architectural style of modernisme and is filled with intricate statues, mosaics and stained glass. The center-piece is a stained glass window in the ceiling of the concert hall in the shape of a water drop and made to look like a sun. It would be an amazing place to see a concert. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to take pictures of the inside, but you can see pictures here.
