Walls in Spain: Walking to the beach

We finally had a good weather day on Sunday, after a couple of very yucky, rainy days, so Bucky and I decided to go out and enjoy it. We had never walked from our apartment to the beach, but knew it was basically a straight shot down Passeig Sant Joan so that was our goal.

We decided against taking India so we didn't have to stop every two seconds and we also wanted the freedom to check out things that were going on. We assumed there would be street fairs or something happening and we were not disappointed.

At the Arc de Triomf, we stumbled upon the Thai Festival, with stalls upon stalls of wonderful smelling food and people dressed in traditional wear. It was early into our walk, so we didn't stop to eat, but it was fun to "window shop." We then walked through Parc de la Ciutadella which was full of people picnicking, playing and enjoying the outdoors. It was a great place to people watch.

We ended up at the Barcelona Zoo and realized that we had to go around it (we didn't want to pay to go through it) in order to get to the beach. So, we backtracked a bit through the park and then headed down to the beach. We found a cute xiringuito, a little restaurant on the beach, and settled in for the afternoon. We ate and drank and enjoyed the view. We lingered there for a while and finally headed to the metro go go home.
