Day 2: Ooooo & Aahhh at Sagrada Familia :O

This morning, we cabbed to Barcelona's most spectacular icon, Sagrada Familia. It's a large Roman Catholic church designed by renowned Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. :) The church doesn't open till 9am, giving us time to roam around the place a bit.

Our tickets to Sagrada Familia which Lin had pre-booked earlier on. :) 

This masterpiece blew us away. We couldn't help gasping at Gaudi's creativity and marvelling at the workings of his brain. :)

One last pic of Sagrada Familia! :)

Day 1: Small but BIG :D

Hostal Grau, home to us for the week we are in Barcelona. It's nestled in a great location, and more importantly, it provided us a glimpse of Spanish houses. :)

Lin booked this place by mistake but looking at these positive reviews left by past guests, this could be a gem. :)))

Hostal Grau epitomises a typical Spanish house. Small but BIG in character...:D  

Follow us for a sneak peep at our rooms :) Lin and I took the first room that is next to the entrance. :) 

There's only 1 bathroom in this suite.

Stuff we bought from La Chinata earlier on. :)

A little pantry for us to do some light cooking. :) Something we will appreciate as the days go by.

Mom and Beanie are taking this room with the sofa bed. :)

Jet lag is real...better hit the sack and recharge for a day of adventure tomorrow. Good nite world. :)
