Another lazy start to the day. Then off into Barcelona with friends to see the Christmas lights, decorations and enjoy one of Europe’s most vibrant city’s nightlife.
Wandered steadily through some of the off beat back streets with friend Steve grabbing a few (thousands actually) of pictures. Called into a second hand shop to do a bit of rummaging.
Up the Rambla and on to a lovely restaurant (Bilbao berria) near the Cathedral for Tapas and Pinchos.
Then wandered round an Antique market and on to Catalunya Sqaure to look at the games and the large robotic ballerina. A brilliant night out.
