Trip across Spain

Our biggest day, leaving San Sebastian and arriving in Pamploma; amazing roads with top speeds, 130. Hills at last and very green. Tapas for breakfast which Murray loved, however the smokers put me off as they sit over the food blowing smoke over the food laid out along the bar top. Walked the route of the bulls, visited the museum which had a display of paintings about the bull runs. My highlight was seeing a display by??????(1903) the most amazing modern sulptures.
From Pampoma to Zaragosa (41 degrees C). Siesta time so shops closing as we arrived. The streets lined with fantastic sulptures;

The rest of the trip was hot, long, dry, and very unimpressive. Tried to pull off road and see real villages when we found them they were so depressing and it was so hot and each detour took so long we decided to hit the speedway and get to Bacelona.

Barcelona was amazing too. Tube station 100 metres from our hotel. As we arrived an English couple had just been pick pocketed and lost all their money and cards........We learnt them some money and in exchange they shared all the gems on Barcelona.
We had a huge day..... From tube to tour bus which we used to travel around all the sights. The beaches are amazing. This was Murrays day; topless beaches, nude beach, gay beach and then befriended by a group of guys who love rugby. Then after a fab meal with Spanish dancing he was hit on by pick pocketers!!!!!!!!!!! Great excitment from several onlookers who stopped us and told all that had unfolded..........Luckily he had no money in his pockets.
Barcelona will be remembered for its Gaudi architecture especially the unfinished church, Sagrada Familia which he started in 1882 and wont be finished until 2041. We toured one of his family homes and viewed a number of his marvels. BUT Barcelona is stylish and forward thinking and the effects of hosting the Olympics obvious. They have so many areas for people to sit and meet and enjoy being alive.......... We loved Barcelona.....
