21 May 2019 Dubai to Barcelona

Our flight arrives in Dubai at 5:15 am and apparently it is already 30 degrees outside. It’s a short, driver less train ride to the appropriate terminal and our Barcelona bound flight leaves on time. There’s a long queue for immigration and passport control in Barcelona, but with all the bays staffed, the line moves faster than the recent v line train. We are advised by the Spanish official to take care in this city as there are many pick pockets in Barcelona. I think the official may have been a plant from Madrid. Much to my relief, the booking.com organised taxi (or rather, driver) is waiting for us at the the airport arrivals hall. Following a 30 minute drive we arrive at Apartamentos DV. After settling in we wander around the district and find a couple of small supermarkets as well the local Badal Metro station. The evening winds up with a light dinner and Netflix.
