Flashy is in awe of more culture

Thursday 26 September 
Last day today, so we are off to the local for breakfast then a long walk to Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.

It's  been 200 odd years in the making and is only 70% finished. You can see the contrast with the modern use of steel reinforced concrete right next to the original 19th century stone start of the project. There is no doubt, having seen this erection, that Gaudi was on LSD or some other mind altering substance. I'd hate to be the engineer trying to decipher  the plans or the poor bastard bricklayer! Flashy is suitably impressed and accordingly troops along behind as bag man while Lady P does the last of the shopping. The only bright spot is when we entered a kitchen/knife shop or had a refreshing beverage. Ah well, it is the last day. Home to a stiff Aperol Spritz and the last of the wine,  before we head out a to a roof top restaurant for another 18  course meal - NOT. Oh no, We could have, as we booked Marea Alta restaurant on the 24 floor of a modern building with 360 degree views over Barcelona and they did have a degustation menu. However, showing admirable restraint, we settled for a razor fish starter and a whole baked  seabass to share. The local rosatto was excellent as was Flashy's dry martini at the start. A taxi home and an early night.
