Europe Part 13: Hola Barcelona (La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and Arc De Triomf)

Europe Part 12: Novotel Hotel And Tartine Café Barcelona City, Spain




Today, we spend our time visiting some of their famous iconic places in Barcelona City.  And here what we got, La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and last but not least Arc De Triomf.  With a good transportation system in here, it is pretty easy to get from one spot to another (single train fare is 2.05 euro but for 2 days pass is only 14 euro).  Our problem was the land toward Park Guell was actually quite hilly plus we were pushing a stroller as well, therefore we burned heaps of calories at that time.  Tired but fun though.

Park Guell

For me, it looks like a ginger bread house, is there anyone agree with me?

Europe Part 12: Novotel Hotel and Tartine Cafe Barcelona City, Spain

Europe Part 11: Monaco


From Nice airport, we made our way to Barcelona City with easyjet that only took slightly less than one and half hour.  We flew in the late evening and arrive our hotel pretty much already dark there.  Therefore, we didn't walk anywhere that night and just relaxing at the hotel until the next morning.  We stayed at Novotel Hotel Barcelona for three nights.  The room was like any other Accor hotel style.  Very clean, minimalist, and the hotel itself is located in the great location, right behind Avenida Diagonal building.

The next morning, we spotted a nice-looking café, very busy with a long line queue outside the door.  Of course, we joined that queue.  So so worth it to wait.  Their hot cocoa comes in a pack (colacao) that served with a cup of hot milk.  Beside that, they also serve sweet and savoury breakfast.  I was pretty amazed with their deconstructed bacon and scrambled egg sandwich.  Very delicious until I ordered second dish.  Their sweet pies and tarts were also yummy.  What a great breakfast we had today.  


Cacaolat 1.50 Euro

Bacon, scramble egg and toast (Desayuno) is 3.25 Euro
