Hi everyone :)
I think that with today's article, i´m sharing the end of this trip, in fact, i don't think, i am sure that this trip will end with this article, since i compiled the last remaining photos and if i remember correctly , all the places mentioned in this article were visited on the same day.
I don't know for sure the order of arrival and if their locations are too far apart, but damn, this happened in 2009 and my mind is no longer what it was :P
As a tour of several random places, i will start by highlighting the visit to the Arc de Triomf located in the Parc de la Ciutadella, a beautiful work designed to serve as the main entrance to the 1888 Universal Exhibition, that is, unlike all similar works that we can find in other cities and that were designed for military purposes, this was designed as a landmark for economic, artistic and scientific progress, having the architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as its designer.
Of course i did a research for the history of this beautiful piece of architecture;)
Still in the Parc de la Ciutadella, one of the main lungs of the city and which for many years was the only public park in Barcellona, we took the opportunity to take a stroll through the roundabouts, but now that i read about it, i realize that the space is giant, full of extensive gardens, with several monuments and statues spread all over different areas, lakes, a huge Greenhouse and even a Zoo, that is, i didn’t see anything close to there, but at least i didn’t miss visiting the huge waterfall that is born amid a huge monumental ensemble.
In the continuation of the tour we were also passing by several buildings already outside the park's surrounding area, where it is possible to see different architectural styles that stand out in the heights and range from the Baroque, passing through the contemporary to give way to the futurist.
Passing one of these avenues, we came face to face with the Hard Rock Café, an emblematic meeting point, a registered trademark with several open spaces in different locations around the globe and of course Barcelona also had to have its space.
We went in to have a cool drink and enjoy some relics that are on display there, among some very bizarre and unique pieces, some objects that once belonged to some of the most famous celebrities in the musical spectrum.
Now there was only one direction, towards the coast to enjoy the end of the day by the beach and after dinner take a quiet walk, away from the hustle and bustle of the busiest centers to finally collect and recharge for the next day.
The fact that this is the last article of this trip, does not mean that this route was done at the end of the stay, on the contrary, i think it was right at the beginning when we still had the energy to visit several places in one day, which there was no longer possible to do at the end of the visit.
And with this I say goodbye to Barcelona, not forever, but for now ;)
That´s all for today :)
See you soon
Thank you for watching :)
