So the first day everyone was a little tired, but in the overall picture, we all had a good time! We went through security, met up with pablo first, then we headed for our new home for our first stay in barcelona, the Hotel Granvia! It's a really cool hotel, and kind of reminds me of the hotels in New Orleans! This hotel has tons of character, since it had been converted from a late turn of the century palace! Once we got situated, our local guide,
Carlos, arrived and we got to business! We made our way over to one of the most famous streets in Spain! This prominad, called Las Ramblas, divides the architecture of the city in 2! On one side is the old city, gothic type architecture, and on the other is the new expansion architecture, when the old Roman city expanded and turned into the city we know today! We walked down Las Ramblas and ended
at the monument to Christopher Columbus. Ok, you might be confused here, but Columbus was italian, and was employed by the spanish crown to explore in their name. To be continued...
