Smoothies/ Juices For The Local Market

Hi!!! How are you?  Good, that’s great (if you’re not, please correct me).  Well I’m pretty sure you want to know what we’ve been doing.  (If you don’t, ‘do not read this post’). ✌️Peace.  One of our favourite things to do in Barcelona Spain is go to the local market together.  We buy some candy,😉 fruit, fresh coconut and delicious fresh coconut smoothies!!!😃😃😃

Everyday we wander down La Rambla (one of the most bustling streets in Barcelona). We have gone to 2 places designed  by Antoni Gaudí: the Sagrada Familia  and Park Guell.

Sagrada Familia

The Sagrada Familia was huge and absolutely beautifull!!!😮😮😮😮😮   The Sagrada Familia is a great church.  Some people call it a cathedral (even Antoni Gaudí started to call it a cathedral) but it’s still a church.  Sagrada Familia means ‘Holy Family’.  We went up one of the famous towers and it was gorgeous minor basilica!!!!!  When you looked out holes/windows in the tower you can see the tops of smaller towers and the city.  My favourite part of the Sagrada Familia was when we looked out little windows (soon to be turned into balconies)that open into the main part of the Sagrada Familia.  It is truly lovely. You can see all the stained glass and intricate designs from above. Its still not finished and is estimated to have been built over a period of 144 years. It is slated for completion in 2026, the 100 year anniversary of Gaudi’s death (he died after being hit by a tram car, living a simple life, he was mistaken as being homeless and did not receive prompt medical attention).

As I mentioned earlier, we also went to Park Guell.  Park Guell is a park.  Shocker!!!  In Guadí’s eyes, he wanted it to be a community with houses, that would be bought by wealthy people.  Only 2 of the 60 houses were built, because he built two no one bought them.  After awhile Gaudí actually lived in one of the houses.  Gaudí didn’t actually  build/design the house he lived in.  We didn’t actually go into the garden part of the park we just went around on the outskirts, but we did get to go inside Gaudí’s house.

We also went on a double decker bus tour!!!!  (Now just pretend I’m talking like I’m in an advertisement),  “‘Double Decker Bus Tours”!!! Great for all ages’.  The tour was pretty fun, you could stop near the ocean, or the Sagrada Familia, the bus even drove up a mountain, where there is an art museum, an Olympics swimming pool, and a whole bunch of land  from when Barcelona held the Olympics in 1992.  We got to sit at the top of the bus, so we had an amazing view of where they lit a giant torch.

Now for the great great concept, our favorite things to do!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃 First stop, let’s go from the oldest to youngest, dad is first.  Dad’s favorite thing to do in Barcelona Spain was eat. (Although the food was better in Seville).  True fact! Mom’s favorite thing to do was look at it and learn about Antoni Gaudí structures, as she loved all the curved lines. Ema’s favorite thing to do was go shopping down La Rambla.  Isy, Aly,and I loved to go to the market and get coconut smoothies!!!  Yum!!!!  So that’s what we’ve been up to.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask, because I would love to answer them.  Thanks for reading!!!  Ori!!!!
