Sunshine, Sangria, and Gaudi - Barcelona Day 3 & 4

Our third day in Barcelona was beach day.  We went out early, found the perfect spot, and settled in for the day.  Of course, we took a break for some seafood and sangria at a cute restaurant looking out over the water, but that was as far from the beach that we ventured until it was time to go back to the hotel.

The big goal for our fourth and final day was hunting down some Gaudi.  If you've never seen Gaudi architecture, definitely look it up...there are some very unique designs.  Since we were flying out later in the day, we only had time to see Parc Guell.

Also, a few random things we ran into on the way, such as a giant mammoth...

And the Cascada Fountain in the Parc de la Ciudadela, which Gaudi helped design early in his career.

Sadly, that was all we had time for in the beautiful city.  There's plenty more we want to see here, not to mention the awesome beach, so we're definitely planning on a return trip if we have the chance.
