It takes us a little while, but eventually we work out how to get to Mont Juic by public transport. It’s a

combination of Metro, funicular and cable car. At the top of the mountain is a fort and the views across both the city and Mediterranean are spectacular. La Sagrada and the accompanying cranes are very obvious against the smaller city buildings. Later, we walk down the hill to the 1992 Olympic site. The stadium, which is open to the public was built in 1929 for the Exposition and was

used as a refugee camp during the Spanish Civil war. We travel back into town and have paella at one of the many restaurants on La Rambla before metro’ing back to Badal. We leave the station at a different exit to usual and discover a large supermarket near by. Supplies are replenished and quickly extinguished once we get back to our rooms.
