We arrived in Barcelona in the wee hours of the morning. Time to nap before we start our day.

First priority, checking out the nearby grocery store for Spanish delicacies. Wow, did we find the perfect ham with hooves and all.

Off we go by train to have some fun in the sun.

We boarded the coastal cruise boat to enjoy views of Barcelona from the water.

Marianne and I were in good hands, the Mirasestels kept constant watch on the waters keeping us safe.

Vila Olimpica

An interesting site from the water was the Olympic Village. Open to the sea and with its own beaches, the Vila Olimpica neighborhood was created as the Olympic village to provide accommodation for athletes taking part in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Today it is a magnificent residential area.

Despite the winds, the warm weather made our boating excursion delightful.

Now it was time to enjoy the beach. In much of our surprise, we stumbled across a nudest beach. The mature sunbathers were truly experiencing nature and the beach with the liberty of being unclothed.

La Deliciosa

We decided to stop at La Deliciosa for a bite to eat and drinks. La Deliciosa is a relaxed beach bar offering food and cocktails.

The location was absolutely perfect to end our fun in the sun in Barcelona. “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
