Renting bikes for a few hours was so much fun. It was a little too hot to walk around everywhere (we needed the additional wind from the bikes), and now that we know our way around Barcelona, it was perfect to just go out exploring on bikes this afternoon. I wish I had a bike to ride here every day!!
We started in my fav area, El Born and headed to the Cituadella Park.
The park is really big so it was the perfect area to bike through. I had already been a few times, but never on the weekend. There were SO many people hanging out everywhere. The best people watching you could imagine.
For example---
These people were casually doing crazy yoga in the middle of the park.
Then we biked over to the beach area. We went all the way down the beach and found a cool new area that I can't wait to go back to.
The W Hotel is pretty new to Barcelona, but is very well known and we often stare at it wishing and hoping to go... They are known for having an amazing pool and restaurant that overlooks the entire city.
It is located right at the end of the beach and we look at it every day from afar. Today we decided to go check it out, close up, for the first time.
Plans for a day at the pool at the W after school are in the works... we will just have to walk in like we own the place and I'm sure they will let us stay. I will post pics when the day comes!
The beautiful Mediterranean water!
