Barcelona Day 1

Monday 3rd October 2016

I boarded a Barcelona City Tour bus – bright red, double decker, open top bus – for a birds eye view of the City.  It was a great way to get a feel for the city in a day.  I hopped on and off a few times.

I was surprised to see how many trees line the streets of the city.  It is densely populated with so many apartment buildings in the middle of the city.  They are all consistent in height, about 10 or 12 storeys and each apartment has a balcony.
