It’s our last day in Barcelona and we got up bright and early before our train to Granada at 1pm to go to FC Barcelona’s soccer stadium. Being the first ones in line we got to see everything very quickly and still make it back in time for the train. The stadium tour consisted of seeing a museum dedicated to the teams past best players, best coaches and all the trophy winning achievements that they’ve won since the team started in 1889.
We saw all the recent trophies of the Copa del Rey, El Clásico and Super Copa winnings. We did a walk through of the team’s most memorable moments on the field with legendary players such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Luis Figo and Messi. After the museum we took a family picture holding up a replica of the most recent cup they won and I took a group picture with the team. We bought the pictures and hurried back to the apartment, as our check out time was noon. When we got to the train station we were on our way to Granada and leaving Barcelona.
Barcelona was the beginning of our vacation and it was a great memory. It was a beautiful city and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity in my lifetime to see this beautiful city. I hope one day when the Sagrada Familia is finished, my daughter will be able to go back to Barcelona and see the church in its finished product.
The rest of the day we were stuck on the train and arrived in Granada at 10pm. When we arrived to the apartment we booked in Granada we were very impressed by the home. In fact it wasn’t really an apartment it was more like a condo. It was very well kept and a beautiful home. But of course not everything is as good as it seems, and the condo had problems with the electricity. It had a timer and a max amount of watts it could use and every time it hit that maximum amount the power would go out. So we had to turn off all the heaters that night and it was freezing, and function that way. To us, living in California and Canada for 18 years, problems with electricity were uncalled for and we forgot what it felt like. Nevertheless we made the most of it and called it an early night for La Alhambra the next day.
