Travel to Barcelona

 Yesterday was mostly a travel day. We got up, packed and did some last minute Seville shopping before being picked up for the airport. 

The airport wasn’t too hard to figure out and we got on our plane and to Barcelona without any drama. 

After checking into our hotel, we raced over to the Picasso museum. The museum was interesting. They really insisted you experience it in a certain flow. Parts of the museum seemed like an oversized gallery- no frills just very plain walls, but other parts of the building had a little more personality and reflected the old building the museum was in. It was nice to go to a more modern art museum. I think a lot of people know Picasso for his later work but his earlier stuff is more traditional. He started painting at a really young age. We saw some of his paintings from when he was 5, and it did not look like a kindergarten art protect. 

After the museum, we got an early dinner (for Spain) then made our way back to the hotel. Our neighborhood had Upper West Side vibes and there are a lot of designer shops nearby. We did discover across the street from our hotel is a homemade gelato place and they are based in Florence. I’m sure we’ll see them again later.
