Barcelona/Andora /Le Grasse France

Guadi is Barcelona apart from the Barcelona FC the club with more spoting teams of different sports than u can imagine the only one is cricket they dont have.

Gaudis influence is every with  long ques in the street before all his uildings the ongoing work of his chirch is just incredulous and cant be described how yoy feel when you see it and his totaly out of the square thinking that startd with the crusifixation over the main door and all his use of ligh and sound I dont know if it is beautiful or just extraordinary.

But we both decided we prefered Madrid so i guess that goes against conventional thinking which is not a strong point of mine.Food was better and more relaxed with more plazas etc and different area genres .Cape towns water front and food leaves Barcelona for dead Not to mention the price.
Mind you in Madrid to have a table with its own beer taps and the Paelia just full of seafood Barcelona had a hard act tp follow.Elvis also enjoyed Madrid much more pariculary the National Gallery.

Picked up our Peugot 407 and off on the road trip we headed near miss with a waste bin and a scooter and we were out of  Barcelona on our way to Andora and France for the first two days with the Pyrennes to cross more on our way to Millau the Big bridge in France up in the clouds.

A stop at Le Grasse for the Night First .Stayed in an old Mill that was working in the 14th century so was a bit Old.
