Barcelona

Been a busy first 2 days in Barcelona!! The first night we got here we watched the Spain vs Italy game in a local bar and it was so much fun! Had to cheer for Spain on the outside, but of course was rooting for Italy deep down. Great game too!! The championship is today so were even more excited to watch this game!! The next day we hit the beach  trying to get in as much Mediterrean sun as possible and we defiantly are. We've been confused as locals a few times because of our tans!! (But then they hear us talk and clearly we don't know any Spanish! Haha). We checked out la Boqueria off the famous las ramblas street. Its one of the biggest fresh foods markets and it was great to get to load on some fresh fruits that we've been missing so badly! We met up with our friends from Paris for dinner and they took us to a really cool tapas bar and it was so amazing! We've been struggling with knowing what to order and this place was so good so it changed our mood on tapas! Yesterday was our tourist day. We started with the walking tour in the morning and saw some cool cathedrals and churches and learned so much about the city! After we went to Camp Nou, FC Barcelonas stadium. 
However we didn't know it was a Cataylan concert for indendence and it was insane!! (Barcelona is Cataylan and they are trying to get independence from Spain). We got a few good looks at the stadium but it wasn't as detailed on the outside as Arsenals stadium so the real beauty is on the inside. We still have a lot more to see, but today is championship day for Spain so you know where we'll be today!! Go EspaƱa!!!!
