Barcelona!

We made it into Spain finally, it turns out the 2 hour traffic jam we had endured sans roof in the midday sun was because of a little frontier town which sold tax-free booze and smokes and all sorts of other tat so people were heading not to Spain itself, but merely the border. So the trip into Barcelona was jam free after that. We parked and walked to Park Guell, designed by Gaudi and within which are buildings and fountains of his signature organic style. We then drove down and had a quick look at his Segrada Familia, which we could barely make out behind all the scaffolding. Since we hadn't organised a place to stay for the night, we found somewhere central and busy for the car to sleep and for us to use as a base, then walked around looking for a nice bar. Finally in a tiny side street we stumbled upon 'Nevermind', a grungy grimy little bar with incredibly cheap beer. We were happy. Three hours later and wishing we had paced ourselves we thought a nap was in order so we covered the Landy with the tarp and curled up awkwardly in the front seat for a few zzz's. At around midnight we woke and wandered around some more until 3ish, then fetched the car and found a tiny cul-de-sac where we slept some more. I would have loved to spend more time in Barcelona as the atmosphere is great and we didn't see much of it, but thatll have to wait I guess. We arrived back in tiny Conat around 10am and were accosted by a little old man urging us to go and watch the concert on the go in the village's church. So dirty and tired we crept into the back and watched a few brilliant classical performances in the beautiful little building built with the local pink marble, before sneaking out and back to the house for a sleep.
