We woke up early on Tuesday ready for a productive day in the beautiful city of Barcelona. After a big breakfast we headed off on the metro to meet our tour guide Theo. During our walking tour of the city centre, Theo showed us a range of beautiful buildings and explained the ideas, history and thinking behind the architecture of Antoni Gaudí and others. We learned that St George is a significant figure in Barcelona and features heavily in the decoration and extravagant carvings adorning many of the buildings in the centre. The tour came to a close at the awe inspiring Sagrada Família.
After grabbing some lunch and quenching our thirst our travel manager Sunni organised for us to continue our work on Gaudí by visiting his house and the magnificent Park Güell. This allowed the students to take some quiet time to reflect and draw their surroundings in their journals.
Following this we made our way back down hundreds of steps, several hills and metro stops before finally reaching the beach and getting our first close up view of the Mediterranean. Here we were able to enjoy some quality time together, eating ice creams, playing football, building sand castles and in the case of Ethan, being buried in sand.
After an eventful day it was time to dust the sand off our feet and head back to hostel to shower off the suncream and get some well earned rest.
