Barcelona - The Beginning
Arrived in Barcelona last evening and checked-in to the hostel. You wouldn´t believe it, but it´s one of those quiet hostel. Not like Toulouse but there´s no common room in the hostel for socialising. The hostel itself (Pension Mari Luz) is very nice, clean and located inside a private apartment (level 3 no less). There is a kitchen but because of the lack of common room, God knows where we´re supposed to eat. And I booked here for 5 nights.
Ah well, lucky it has a good location close to Ramblas. There are plenty of things to do at night. I just walked around the whole night absorbing the atmosphere. There are plenty of remarkably talented buskers in the southern end of La Ramblas. These people certainly changed my view on buskings.
Explored Barri Gothic, mainly the Cathedral and the truly fascinating Museu d´Historia de la Ciutat, this morning and finally caught up with my blog posting during the siesta, where almost all sights are closed in Barcelona. The only thing open that I want to see is the Musee Picasso, but there were hundreds of people in the lineup just to get into the museum. That can wait until a bit later tonight. For now my Internet credit is almost run out.
