Day 9: July 17, 2025
What a last day!
We spent the entire day exploring Barcelona, starting by jumping on the metro (underground) like the locals, to arrive in the city center. Here, we walked around the Born and Gotic quarters, which are the oldest parts of the city. Once we reached the famous Rambla, we had free time in which some went shopping, others even managed to fit in some beach time.
In the afternoon, we hopped on a bus and our guide Mercé took us around the city, including the amazing Sagrada Familia - a church still under construction -, the Montjuic hill and Olympic village, and a walking tour of Gaudí's "Park Guell".
After, we got dropped off by the Glories tower (shaped like a bullet) and we had dinner at Tapa Tapa, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
A superb way to finish what has been a very enjoyable tour! The best group of the year thus far, that's for certain from my personal perspective! :)
