Casa Mila, on the windiest day in Barcelona

Today we ventured out to Diagonal to go to Casa Mila. The rooftop terrace is the most stunning part of the building. Its undulating surfaces give you so many interesting views of the city. The wind almost blew us off the roof, but it just made it that much more exciting. Here are a few pictures from the roof.

Day 1 - no sleep and amazement

    2. Groceries are cheap, very cheap. But you have to pay for plastic bags.

    3. Barcelona is gorgeous, in a very unique way.
