Sully's European Journeys


Spain

Greetings. These are pictures from my trip to Spain, specifically Barcelona, Zaragoza, Pamplona, Bilbao, and San Sebastian. While in Spain I was able to visit a number of famous monuments and sites. We stayed in Barcelona at the Cristal Palace Hotel. It was a nice hotel located in the center of Barcelona near Catalonia Square and Las Ramblas, a boulevard when pedestrians stroll and people watch. We visited Guell Park and Casa Mila, where the work of artist Antoni Gaudi is on display. His surreal designs and use of mosaic are worth seeing. We also visited the Picasso Museum and La Sagrada Familia, a church that has been under construction for more than a century and the work continues. We also were able to visit Zaragoza, Pamplona (where the running of the bulls takes place), Bilbao, and San Sebastian. We stayed at the Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra, overlooking the bay. In Bilbao we enjoyed the Guggenheim Museum, complete with its creepy large spider sculpture outside the museum.
