Barcelona De Nou

Saturday we returned to Barcelona.  We had found a Rick Steves Barcelona City Walk audio tour.  We set off from the ship and did our usual walk over the bridge into the city.

After saying hello to Columbus, we headed to La Rambla and a stop for sangria and a snack.

We decided not to walk all the way up to Placa de Catalunya where the walk was supposed to begin.  Instead we started at Placa Nova which was stop number 8.

From there, we continued the tour past the cathedral and other sights.

And then the tour took us into the old Jewish Quarter and past the door to the old synagogue.

We then arrived at the Placa de Sant Jaume with its two big government buildings.

The next stop was the most surprising for us - the Roman Temple of Augustus.  It's the only remaining remnant of the Roman occupation of the area.

The final stop of the tour was at the Placa del Rei where there was a bride and groom posing for photos.  It seems that we often run into these scenes on our travels.

The walking tour took us to parts of Barcelona that we hadn't been to before which made it really worthwhile.  After a stop for another snack, we walked back to the ship somewhat exhausted from our 7+ mile adventure.

Peace and blessings,

Linda and Larry
