Gaudi and more Sangria

Monday we woke up earlier and were out around 10:00am. We first went el Mercat, the market. They had a bunch of fresh fruit stands and meat and cheese stands. We bought fresh food to make sandwiches and had a picnic later that day in Park Guell. We rode the metro to Park Guell which is a park with a bunch of Gaudi sculptures.

Gaudi is an artist that did a bunch of mosaic work. The park was huge with hiking trails everywhere and great views of the city. I kind of reminded me of the Hollywood hill. We ate lunch in the mail part of the park and the pigeons went crazy. They loved our scraps. After going to the park we went to finally check out the beach.

The water was obviously still freezing but it was so nice outside. I collected some sand in an empty water bottle to bring back. We walked from the beach to marina and sat at a restaurant to share a pitcher of sangria. After the first pitcher the group split and some of us went to another restaurant to try their sangria. That restaurant had the best sangria yet. There was so much fruit in it that it was like a smoothie. We later met up with Laetitia’s local friends and had a drink with them. They recommended a few places to go on a Monday night and we parted ways.

The hostel had a program where they took us out so we decided to go with them and make some new friends. Dylan met a few Canadian guys and they became friends. We ended up going to el gato negro again and then to a club called otto zutto. It was a little too crowded for me so we left after about an hour.
