Our last day of the trip. Met Pam and Bruce for breakfast at 8:30. About an hour later we left hotel and walked to Mercat Santa Catarina, a farmers market. Really much nicer than the Boqueria we had been to the other day. Wider aisles, nicer meats/fish and produce and it was not crowded.
From there we walked back to La Rambla and headed to the waterfront. Looked at the sailboats and small boats. Were not on the side of the harbor that has the big cruise ships. Then walked along the waterfront and found a nice place to eat, La Cascades des Lletbes, where I had wonderful black rice (squid ink) with squid and razor clams. After a leisurely lunch, we continued walking.
Went to Palau de la Musica Catalana to see its beautiful architecture. Really interesting, colorful. And about 3:00 we headed back to hotel for rest, bathroom break, water/beer on the terrace. About 4:00, we headed out again on a futile search for a shop that sold regular bicycle clothing. So retraced some of our earlier steps. Back to hotel at around 5:00 and meeting for dinner at 7:00 nearby.
Nice day. Nice week. Nice weeks. Nice trip.
And an addendum ... how far we walked, climbed:
